Remembering the Lesbian Arts Festivals in York: In the first decade of this millennium, thousands of women would flock to York each autumn for the Libertas! and YLAF festivals: to hear their favourite authors and singers, buy piles of lesbian books and dance till the clocks went back. Friendships and marriages were formed and identities forged. In this fascinating, lavishly illustrated book, Jane Traies tells the story of that sapphic idyll through interviews, memories and photographs. A treasure trove of inclusive queer history. Includes interviews with Jackie Kay, Stella Duffy, Sarah Waters, Val McDermid, Horse McDonald, festival founder Jenny Roberts and many others who attended or organised the festival. Packed with colour photos throughout.
