![]() ![]() The two women lived as a couple in Paris for nearly four decades, inseparable companions from the day they met, in September 1907, until the afternoon of Gertrude’s death in July 1946. Toklas, the legendary partner of the writer Gertrude Stein. She has a long pointed noise, a full, wide mouth, a little moustache. The lady wears a tartan muffler draped around her neck. Her hat is made of black felt and ornamented on both the high crown and brim with curls of lacy rickrack. … Nothing illustrates this general principle more clearly than the tactics developed by gay men and lesbians to put the spaces of the dominant culture to queer uses.Ī little old lady in a black hat smiles weakly at the camera, her eyes dark and piercing, yet strangely unfocused. There is no queer space there are only spaces used by queers or put to queer use. Right: Gertrude Stein, January 1935, portraits by Carl Van Vechten. ![]()
