CIRCA: The Evolution of Sapphic Spaces: From the 1920s to the 2020s

From the private women’s salons of the 1920s to the lesbian separatist communes of the 1970s and the pop-up bars of today, queer women have long sought out each other and carved space for themselves — even when doing so came at a steep cost. Over the past century, these Sapphic spaces have enabled lesbians and other women who love women an opportunity to create community, find romance, pursue joy and fight for equal rights in a world dominated by straight, white, cisgender men.

Join NBC Out Editorial Director Brooke Sopelsa, journalist and host Alex Berg, writer and editor Trish Bendix, filmmaker Sekiya Dorsett and others as they discuss the history, evolution and significance of these Sapphic spaces from the Roaring ‘20s to the present day.
