In this debut episode of Dyke Dive, Dr. Marie Cartier sets the tone for the series by exploring the vital role lesbian bars have played in shaping community and identity. She introduces the podcast's themes of connection and history before sharing a pivotal story from her book about Myrna Kurland, a lesbian who came out in the 1940s. Myrna’s story highlights the significance of these bars during a time when being openly gay wasn’t just risky—it was dangerous. Cartier uses this story to illustrate why these spaces became lifelines for so many in the lesbian community.
The Dyke Dive, Last Call is a limited series podcast hosted by Dr. Marie Cartier.
