 The Great Lesbian Love of Eve Adams is the true story of Jewish immigrant Eve Adams, self-proclaimed “Queen of the Third Sex,” in 1920’s New York. Eve fought for queer female space and representation, opening Eve’s Tearoom, a lesbian speakeasy on MacDougal Street, and publishing Lesbian Love, a collection of stories based on interviews with the downtown lesbian community which is now considered one of the first depictions of lesbian life in America. Despite facing rampant discrimination for her sexuality, gender presentation, religion, and political beliefs, Eve continued to stand up for the voices of her community. Although our country had made great strides towards queer equality this past century, The Great Lesbian Love of Eve Adams urges us to continue striving for fair representation, carrying on Eve’s 100-year-old-fight.
