Biographical / Historical
The San Diego Lesbian Press was first published in 1987, after a group of San Diego women saw a need for the publication and decided to form a collective to make it happen. The collective, the SDLP Collective, became the publisher of the San Diego Lesbian Press.
The Lesbian Press was published every other month until circa 1992.
