Queer Women in History tour

Throughout history, queer women’s stories are told in the silences and between the lines. Looking at three exceptional women artists from the late 19th to mid twentieth century, this queer tour at Tate St Ives explores these hidden histories and asks questions about the importance of queer identity in women’s history.
