Alex Warner was recently appointed project historian for the Women's Leather History Project at the Leather Archives and Museum in Chicago and is curator of the project's first museum exhibit, "A Room of Her Own." Her research focused on the intersections of the politics of feminism and sexual liberation. Adult content.

Alex Warner will discuss the development of the Leatherdyke community in the United States, from the mid 1970s through the early 1990s. Using archival evidence and oral history interviews, she will summarize parts of her dissertation research to explain how the community came to be, what some of the major trends in the community were over its first twenty years and what issues remain central to Leatherdyke culture. The presentation will include pictures and examples from the museum exhibit.
