Love Letters

Love Letters - Love at all costs, defying patriarchy

This insightful documentary tells the powerful love story of Catharine R. Stimpson, a renowned feminist scholar, and Elizabeth (Liz) Wood, an Australian musicologist. Now in their 80s, they reflect on their fight for love in a time when being openly gay was a radical act.

As Liz battled the Australian courts to retain custody of her four children, her sexuality was used against her. With support from Catharine and feminist icons like Adrienne Rich and Kate Millet, Liz won a landmark case that redefined motherhood for lesbian women, forging a life with Catharine that would last five decades.
