- Comment: A good start but Outhistory is user-generated and does not take responsibility for the content so does not meet WP:RS and LGBTQ Activism in Seattle History Project is a brief mention. I cannot find a book titled A Woman's Place by Gary L. Atkins but did find Gay Seattle : stories of exile and belonging which does have in-depth coverage about GWA so is a good source. Is that the intended source? If not, additional bibliographic information is needed and also need at least one more qualifying source with in-depth coverage which likely exists. I also removed the large quote because it was WP:UNDUE. If you need help finding sources, let me know. S0091 (talk) 17:57, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
The Gay Women's Alliance was a Seattle-based lesbian feminist group founded in 1971.
Founding
editIn 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]
Gay Women’s Resource Center
editIn 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]
