Ann Bannon has been called “The Queen of Lesbian Pulp Fiction” for her landmark “Beebo Brinker Chronicles,” a series of five original paperback novels published by Gold Medal Books. The books tell the stories of young lesbians in pre-Stonewall Greenwich Village from 1957 to 1962. For an entire generation, these stories provided the first representation in literature that they had ever read of women loving women. Bannon and others helped to end the isolation and ignorance that had kept thousands of lesbians in virtual prisons, and paved the way for the new generation of lesbian writers who were to follow.
