Fantastic read, omg thank you for sharing your research with us. This convinced me to subscribe. I'm reading your bio on Alan Hart right now (wtf, never heard of him until today!) and I see I have a trove of great reading ahead of me. Thank you for keeping history alive, Wendy.
Another fascinating chapter in queer life. I'm in my 80s and remember well the "campiness" of the 1960s. Of course I was ignorant of the back story but I appreciate learning about it now. On the flip side there was something similar going on with women. Short hair, trousers, masculine shirts, all signaled "lesbian". Even now, when what we wear tends towards non-gendered leisure wear, there is something about the eyes of a queer woman that gives them away to those of us who recognize the look. Maybe not as visible as the Molly Walk, all those signs still send the signal.
Aye those magnificent days of rakes and mollys… and the 90’s Rave culture smitten with mollys (MDMA)… where’s my tea and strumpets? https://youtu.be/IdVnw1IP3QI

Awesome history lesson!
And 60’s ribald movie Tom Jones shows Mollying amongst the aristocracy! https://youtu.be/IzB3AmG76LU
