• Daughters of Bilitis: Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon
  The Daughters of Bilitis, America’s first lesbian organization, was founded in 1955 in San Fransisco by Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon. A reaction to their discomfort in the city’s lesbian bars, the DOB was initially founded as a social club. The name comes from Pierre Louys’s writings on sapphic love, and Martin and Lyon thought it would make their new group “sound like any other women’s lodge…like the Daughters of the Nile….If anyone asked us, we could always say we belonged to a poetry club.”
