Elizabeth Lovatt

Elizabeth Lovatt is a British author and LGBTQ+ activist. Thank You For Calling the Lesbian Line draws on real experiences from Britain's lesbian telephone helplines, which provided vital support and connection for LGBTQ+ women during a period when homosexuality was still stigmatised and isolated. The book recovers an important piece of queer British history and the extraordinary women who volunteered to help others. Her audiobook and book is a fascinating, moving piece of listening and reading for anyone interested in LGBTQ+ history, community activism, and the untold stories of the women who kept vital support networks alive.
