title: The bodies I have lived with: keynote for 18th Lesbian Lives Conference, Brighton, England, 2011.
abstract: Nestle pays homage in ideas and images to the bodies, both familial and communal, that have informed her life's work-an exploration of the mid-twentieth-century American fem-butch community by creating an archive of primary sources, faces and words, that challenge prevailing national and sometimes communal narratives of what is history and what is absence.
