Drawing on oral histories, logbook entries, and feminist newspapers, I argue that Las Hermanas functioned as a lesbian brown commons: a place where care, anonymity, and collective labor forged political resistance. Grounded in queer of color critique, affect theory, and feminist historiography, I argue that the community's fragmentary archive and strategic opacity reflect a method of historiographical resistance. Rather than reading archival gaps as absence, I interpret them as intentional refusals that safeguard community and shape an alternative lesbian public history. This article contributes to queer historiography and feminist archival studies by theorizing care and refusal as foundational to lesbian of color memory work. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8gg398nq Thu, 26 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Ortega, Guadalupe https://escholarship.org/uc/item/74s3m2gc Rosa Manus (1881–1942): the international life and legacy of a Jewish Dutch feminist https://escholarship.org/uc/item/74s3m2gc Mon, 7 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Rupp, Leila J https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3hb7q9m3 Interchange: Women's Suffrage, the Nineteenth Amendment, and the Right to Vote https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3hb7q9m3 Mon, 7 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 DuBois, Ellen Carol Gidlow, Liette Jones, Martha S Marino, Katherine M Rupp, Leila J Tetrault, Lisa Wu, Judy Tzu-Chun https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8ws0n0fg Female Husbands: A Trans History https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8ws0n0fg Thu, 31 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Rupp, Leila J https://escholarship.org/uc/item/56k880xh American Women's History: A Very Short Introduction https://escholarship.org/uc/item/56k880xh Mon, 11 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000 Rupp, Leila J https://escholarship.org/uc/item/44n922ss Straight girls kissing Heteroflexibility in the college party scene https://escholarship.org/uc/item/44n922ss Mon, 11 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000 Rupp, Leila J Taylor, Verta Pham, Janelle M https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9s53906c Sexualities https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9s53906c Mon, 29 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 Rupp, Leila J Thomsen, Carly https://escholarship.org/uc/item/82r4m5x8 Women in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Movement https://escholarship.org/uc/item/82r4m5x8 Mon, 29 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 Rupp, Leila J Taylor, Verta Roth, Benita https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2xq7r2hd The European Origins of Transnational Organizing: The International Committee for Sexual Equality https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2xq7r2hd Mon, 29 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 Rupp, Leila https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1sd7t6s8 Teaching LGBTQ History and Heritage https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1sd7t6s8 Mon, 29 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 Rupp, Leila J https://escholarship.org/uc/item/08z4g80h Learning to be Queer: College Women's Sexual Fluidity https://escholarship.org/uc/item/08z4g80h Mon, 29 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 Rupp, Leila J Taylor, Verta Miller, Shaeleya D https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3qd4123g WHIGGISH THINKING ABOUT TRANSNATIONAL WOMEN'S HISTORY AND QUEER HISTORY https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3qd4123g Tue, 13 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000 Rupp, Leila J https://escholarship.org/uc/item/12z175m7 The Gay Revolution: The Story of the Struggle https://escholarship.org/uc/item/12z175m7 Tue, 13 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000 Rupp, Leila J https://escholarship.org/uc/item/39m826mw Still Thinking Sex https://escholarship.org/uc/item/39m826mw Tue, 1 Sep 2015 00:00:00 +0000 Rupp, Leila J https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6bk5x0j5 Introduction to the "Working at Living: The Social Relations of Precarity" working group. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6bk5x0j5 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000 Boris, Eileen Dodson, Leigh https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6k98d998 In our push to measure contemporary forms of precarity under globalization—especially that attached to the symbolic value of female and feminized labor at the center of economic consolidation and wealth—we do a grave disservice to ignore the history of the economic and social transformation proposed by development policy makers during the era of decolonization. Decolonization presented global finance capital with a new set of challenges for management and domination of the global order especially since women had played such key roles in anti-colonial movements. Under the guise of development the Bretton Woods institutions (World Bank and the International Monetary Fund) promised to apply technological solutions and modernizing beliefs to fix poverty and to help women achieve their goals for economic independence. Development coupled extant ideologies about and aspirations for mobilizing women’s reproductive capacities, unpaid labor, and women’s management of resources and economies... https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6k98d998 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000 Boris, Eileen Willoughby-Herard, Tiffany https://escholarship.org/uc/item/54w0c5jf <p>What is work? Who is a worker? How does law and social policy shape our understandings of these terms? What is at stake when only wage workers are endowed with worker status? That limitation excludes unpaid caregiving and other forms of nonmarket production. Indeed, even within waged work, specific forms of employment take precedence, privileging industrial jobs associated with adult white men and marginalizing much agricultural, household, and other service work. How does this dual structure, both bounding and dividing labor markets, create precarious conditions for people of color, immigrants, women, and others who face exclusion from privileged forms of work, consignment to subordinated forms of work, and denial that their labors constitute work at all?</p> https://escholarship.org/uc/item/54w0c5jf Thu, 25 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000 Zatz, Noah Boris, Eileen
