In Her Words: 20th Century Lesbian Fiction celebrates the writers who transformed lesbian storytelling across the 20th century. Narrated by LGBT historian Lillian Faderman and featuring illuminating interviews with trailblazers such as Jewelle Gomez (The Gilda Stories), Dorothy Allison (Bastard Out of Carolina), and Sarah Waters (Tipping the Velvet), the film traces a literary journey from the 1920s through the 1990s, charting the evolution of lesbian fiction alongside broader social and political change. Through rare archival footage and candid reflections, the film explores the triumphs, controversies, and cultural shifts that shaped generations of writers and readers. A moving celebration of visibility and voice, In Her Words honors the stories that helped countless readers see themselves, finally and fully, in print.
