  • Summary

  • The Criminal Law Amendment Act 1922 sought to address the sexual exploitation of children. So how did it end up almost criminalising sexual activity between women? In this episode, we speak to Professor Caroline Derry about the role of criminal law in recognising and silencing lesbianism, and what, if anything, this has to do with Queen Victoria.
