- Summary
- "It was in 1869 that the term homosexual was devised by a Hungarian doctor as part of an ongoing struggle against new German antigay legislation that was to remain unchanged for over 100 years. The word was used openly in efforts to establish homosexual rights from 1897 until the European groups were destroyed by Nazism and Stalinism in the 1930s. The authors carefully uncover the lost history of this period, with abundant resources to well-known gay pioneers, their defenders, and their enemies. This the early history of a movement generally thought not to have an early history"--Page 4 of cover.
