title: Lesbian emancipation in The Netherlands.
abstract: In this article the emancipation of lesbian women as a group is reviewed from a historical viewpoint. Their gradual emancipation, along with women in general, is demonstrated by the increasing alliances and support afforded to women over the years. The growth of a unified lesbian movement is evident in publications and the formation of autonomous organizations in the 20th century.
