A History of Lesbian Film & TV Part 1/2

Let's take a look at the history of Lesbian film and TV from the start of cinema in 1895 to today. In part one I'll cover up to 1968 which was the end of the Hays Code and a pivotal moment in allowing queer representation to exist on screen. How were lesbians and wlw portrayed historically? Well, usually as sick, depraved, or dead, so let's dive into what that looked liked. Find out when the first lesbian kiss on film was, when the first sapphic character was portrayed and when the first lesbian film was made and more!
