Gay
Essentials: Facts for Your Queer Brain by David Bianco
"Who was Sappho? How did San Francisco
get so gay? Was Eleanor Roosevelt really a lesbian? In this
lively volume, Bianco answers these and 98 other questions about
gay history. Largely culled from Bianco's newspaper column 'Past
Out', the entries in Gay Essentials are succinct, witty
and anecdotal. Bianco does a sensible, entertaining job of
covering the kind of history that isn't taught in most
schools." -- Library Journal, September 15, 1999
Includes the answer to the question: Who
were Havelock Ellis and Edith Lees Ellis?

From the Margaret Sanger Papers
Excerpt:
Margaret Sanger described him as
"Olympian" on more than one occasion and referred to him
as the "King"only slightly in jest. Cerebral, withdrawn
Henry Havelock Ellis (1859-1939), more likely to be seen sunning
his long, thin frame on his garden lawn than exerting his
influence in any public sphere, was to Margaret Sanger and many
feminists and sex reformers in the early 20th century a heroic
presence. His writings on human sexuality eclipsed Freud's work in
pre-World War I America and helped rouse a generation of women to
fight for sexual autonomy. Ellis's six volume Studies in the
Psychology of Sex, published between 1897 and 1928, and widely
publicized as the result of censorship battles in England,
challenged accepted modes of sexual conduct and even the
institution of marriage while advocating non-procreative sex as a
natural and healthy human function. Ellis securely linked women's
sexual liberation and pleasure to social stability, a belief that
Sanger heralded, and an equation that she recognized would
necessarily require birth control...
