Preceded only by a local Los Angeles newsletter titled <em>Vice Versa<\/em>, <em>The Ladder<\/em> began in October 1956 as the small publication of the group Daughters of Bilitis (DOB). The DOB was founded in 1955 in San Francisco as a social group for lesbians who wanted to avoid public scrutiny and the violence of bars that were often the target of police brutality. As their numbers grew, DOB chapters formed in cities across the country, including New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The DOB evolved into a highly influential lesbian activist organization providing a \u201cfeminine viewpoint,\u201d educating women about \u201cfemale homosexuality and positive self-image.\u201d The DOB worked closely with groups that were primarily focused on gay men, such as the Mattachine Society and ONE, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>Partners Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin, the co-founders of DOB, both had educational backgrounds in journalism and worked as reporters. Lyon decided to publish <em>The Ladder<\/em> as a way to advertise the group\u2014since they were forbidden from doing so in newspapers\u2014as well as to spread awareness about social issues affecting the wider lesbian community. The mission statement of the DOB was printed inside every cover of the magazine:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12590\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12590\" style=\"width: 2464px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/11\/2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12590 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/11\/2.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"2464\" height=\"3945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/11\/2.jpg 2464w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/11\/2-187x300.jpg 187w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/11\/2-768x1230.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/11\/2-640x1024.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2464px) 100vw, 2464px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12590\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Note the use of the word \u201cvariant\u201d instead of \u201clesbian,\u201d which had a negative connotation in 1956.<\/dd>\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-dd\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>According to some sources, the magazine was titled &#8220;The Ladder&#8221;\u00a0to symbolize a way to escape the \u201cwell of loneliness,\u201d a phrase popularized by Radclyffe Hall\u2019s influential novel of the same name. The first issues featured a hand-drawn cover with two people standing beneath a ladder ascending into the clouds. There were only 175 original copies made of this issue, which were given to friends and mailed to professional women in the San Francisco telephone book and around the country. By 1957, the second year of publication, there were hundreds of subscribers on the mailing list, and the magazine was available on select newsstands in major cities. By the publication of its last issue in 1972, it had a subscription of over 4,000 worldwide. It is difficult to estimate total readership, however, because the issues were frequently shared and read aloud at gatherings.<\/p>\n<p>Early content included information from DOB meetings, \u201cLesbiana\u201d literature reviews, prose and poetry, social experiments, etiquette advice, community events, and reader responses. The editors avoided including any overtly sexual content, but quickly began rallying around political issues and publishing news about the <a href=\"http:\/\/outhistory.org\/exhibits\/show\/lesbians-20th-century\/social-scientists\">Homophile movement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12591\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12591\" style=\"width: 2843px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/11\/3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12591 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/11\/3.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"2843\" height=\"3947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/11\/3.jpg 2843w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/11\/3-216x300.jpg 216w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/11\/3-768x1066.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/11\/3-738x1024.jpg 738w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2843px) 100vw, 2843px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12591\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This appeal appeared on the back cover of many early issues.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>The Ladder<\/em> was published monthly from 1956-1970 and bi-monthly from 1971-72. Over that time span, the magazine underwent drastic changes. The first major transformations began after Barbara Gittings, DOB New York chapter president, became editor in 1963. Gittings added the subtitle, \u201cA Lesbian Review\u201d to the cover in 1964, signifying the word \u201clesbian\u201d as something that was no longer unspeakable. She changed the magazine\u2019s size and publication quality, increasing issues from 12-15 pages to 27 and moving from a mimeographed copy to professionally printed pages. Kay Tobin Lahusen, a photojournalist who was Gittings\u2019 partner and assistant editor, began using photographs of lesbians, rather than the illustrations typical of past issues. Regardless of the changes in its appearance, <em>The Ladder<\/em> was issued in a brown paper covering for the duration of its existence.<\/p>\n<p>The last issue was published in September, 1972. In 1975, Arno Press released a nine-volume compilation of <em>The Ladder<\/em> in hardback as part of their series &#8220;Lesbians and Gay Men in Society, History, and Literature.&#8221;<em> The Ladder<\/em> was a lifeline for those women who read it, providing one of the first formal spaces for lesbians to come together in dialogue and artistic expression. Today, it stands as an important artifact of 20<sup>th<\/sup> century lesbian and feminist movements and a valuable resource for scholarship.<\/p>\n<p><em>Post contributed by Valerie Szwaya, intern for the Sallie Bingham Center for Women&#8217;s History and Culture.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sallie Bingham Center for Women\u2019s History and Culture recently acquired 47 copies of The Ladder (1956-1972), more than doubling our run for a total of 79 issues of the publication spanning the years 1957 to 1972.
