Sinister wisdom" is the title on this poster, which reproduces a photograph by Tee Corinne, an American lesbian feminist photographer and artist. The title points to *Sinister Wisdom*, a lesbian feminist literary journal that began publishing in 1976 and gave women writers and artists a platform outside mainstream publishing. Posters like this one circulated within feminist and lesbian communities, where images of women's lives and relationships were often meant to be shared widely. The record dates the piece to between 1965 and 1980, a period when the women's and gay liberation movements were changing how lesbian life was pictured in public.
