The Gay Women's Alliance was a Seattle-based lesbian feminist group founded in 1971.
In 1971, Pandora, a Seattle publication covering lesbian feminist issues announced that women from the Gay Liberation Front had held a meeting to discuss how the gay liberation movement could serve the interests of gay women and sought to form a group. The Gay Women's Alliance, known as the GWA, was founded two weeks later. [1] [2]
In 1971, the Gay Women's Alliance opened a Gay Women's Resource Center at the YWCA, where they provided sober social activities and maintained a list of lesbian-friendly businesses within Seattle. [3] The name would later be changed to the Lesbian Resource Center. [1]
