Furies Collective National Historic Landmark Nomination
Ferentinos S. 2024. Furies Collective National Historic Landmark Nomination. National Historic Landmark Nominations. National Park Service. Washington, DC
This document is the National Historic Landmark (NHL) nomination for the Furies Collective in Washington, DC. The NHL nomination for the Furies Collective documents its national significance under NHL Criterion 1. As the headquarters of the short-lived, but consequential Furies Collective, the property is significant under Criterion 1 for the important role it played in the articulation of lesbian feminist separatism, a school of thought that upholds heterosexuality as a key element in perpetuating women’s oppression. Lesbian feminist separatism was the philosophical underpinning of the “women’s culture” of the 1970s and 1980s and within the LGBTQ civil rights movement, paralleled the gay liberation movement. The period of national significance is 1971-1973.
