Sapphic Circle is a space for lesbians to come together to explore feminist issues, build solidarity, and connect over shared experiences. We seek to build lesbian community through engaging in lesbian ideas, politics, media, and feminist resistance!
Sapphic Circle meets the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at 12pm PST/3pm EST/8pm UTC.
Relationships rarely exist in isolation; they are embedded in networks that provide guidance, encouragement, and accountability, allowing women to navigate both personal desires and collective norms.
"Women have been each other’s best friends, relatives, stable companions, emotional and economic supporters, and faithful lovers." Janice Raymond (1986)
"For herself, Jewett required another individual who could give her intense devotion without holding the reins too tightly, someone who would let her work when she needed to work and give her affection and diversion when she needed those." - Lillian Faderman, 1981
"Lesbians have been an acutely under-represented voice in the film industry. We intend to build bridges among audiences, filmmakers and the community at large through the exhibition of Lesbian produced films and other events scheduled throughout the weekend." - AfterEllen Staff, 2018
"What is lesbianism? Is it a universal, crosscultural concept and identity or is it historically specific to that period of world history in which industrial societies develop? Do lesbians have a culture that cuts across the cultures of race, class and society?" - Ann Ferguson, 1990
Decolonizing education that puts women back in women's studies.
