Gender & Women’s Studies Colloquium: Spring 2015 Distinguished Faculty Lecture Series

For over 30 years, Lyon Martin Women' Health Services has provided medical care and psychosocial services to the lesbian community of San Francisco. However, the lesbian identity of the clinic has been a point of contention, since the clinic has always treated women (and now men) who identify as heterosexual. Judith Houck, Chair, Gender & Women’s Studies, traces the history of this health clinic from its founding, exploring the sexual, racial, and gender politics at the center of its history.
