BCE to The Suffragettes
10-12-1903 – 06-04-1998 Josephine Hutchinson – Born in Seattle, Washington.
Her mother was Leona Roberts, an actress best known for her role as Mrs. Meade in Gone With the Wind. Through her mother’s connections, Hutchinson made her film debut at the age of 13 in The Little Princess (1917), starring Mary Pickford. By the late 1920s, she was one of the actors able to make the transition from silent movies to talkies. She also acted on Broadway. On television, she made four guest appearances on Perry Mason. Hutchinson also appeared in The Rifleman, Little House on the Prairie, Rawhide, The Twilight Zone, and Gunsmoke. In 1926, she met actress Eva Le Gallienne and by 1927 the two women were involved in an affair. The press dubbed her Le Gallienne’s “shadow,” a term which at the time meant lesbian. Both actresses survived the scandal and had successful career
10-12-1933 – 10-04-2018 Jinx Beers – Born in Pasadena, California. In 1975, she created Lesbian News (LN). It always came out on the first of the month and readers stood in line to pick it up at its various distribution points.
It was entirely run by volunteers and went from four mimeographed stapled pages to 62 pages, and per Jinx’s insistence, the LN was always free. In 1975, she couldn’t even get a checking account in the name Lesbian News because no bank would allow the word “Lesbian” on the account. Also, it was impossible to get a P.O. Box or phone number with the word Lesbian, that’s how it became LN. It’s now a national magazine available online.
In 1951, Beers joined the Air Force in order to earn assistance in getting a college degree. She earned a psychology degree from UCLA. In 1970, she taught a class called the Lesbian Experience. In 2009, Beers published her book, “Memories of an Old Dyke.” She is included in Lillian Faderman and Stuart Timmons’ Gay LA: A History of Sexual Outlaws, Power Politics, and Lipstick Lesbian and she is listed in Barbara Love’s book Feminists Who Changed America: 1953-1975.

The Chrysler Corporation introduces high fidelity record players for their 1956 line-up of cars. The unit measured about four inches high and less than a foot wide and mounted under the instrument panel. The seven inch discs spun at 16 2/3 rpm and required almost three times the number of grooves per inch as an LP. A set of 35 classical recordings were available that provided between 45 and 60 minutes of uninterrupted music. The players would be discontinued in 1961.
10-12-1957 — 11-07-2017 Debra Chasnoff – Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was an American documentary filmmaker and activist. Her films addressed progressive social justice issues. Her production company GroundSpark “seeks to create sage, hate-free schools and communities” through documentaries and accompanying education campaigns.
Her filmmaking career began in 1984 with Choosing Children in which she directed and produced with her partner at the time, Kim Klausner. The film showcased six families composed of same-sex parents and children. In 1992 Chasnoff won an Academy Award for Deadly Deception: General Electric, Nuclear Weapons and Our Environment and thanked her then partner, Kim Klausner, in her acceptance speech. It was her way of coming out as a lesbian to the public. Chasnoff also produced and directed Celebrating the Life of Del Martin which captured the moving celebration for lesbian pioneer Del Martin who died in 2008. At the time of her death in 2017 she was married to glass blowing artist, Nancy Otto. Cause of death was breast cancer.

1968
The LP “Cheap Thrills” by Big Brother And The Holding Company hit #1 on the Billboard album chart for the first of eight non-consecutive weeks. It would prove to be the most successful LP of the year, selling over a million copies. The cover, drawn by underground cartoonist Robert Crumb, replaced the band’s original idea, a picture of the group naked in bed together. Crumb had originally intended his art to be the LP’s back cover, but Joplin demanded that Columbia Records use it for the front cover. Initially the album title was to have been Sex, Dope and Cheap Thrills, but this didn’t go down too well at Columbia Records. On March 22, 2013, the album was deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” by the US Library of Congress and was preserved into the National Recording Registry.
