Edythe Eyde (1921-2015) was an author, songwriter, and activist. In 1947, she published the first-ever lesbian publication in North America – at a time when doing so was illegal. While she published primarily under pseudonyms, Edythe Eyde has been recognized in recent years as a pioneer in the LGBTQ+ movement for her activism and wide-ranging cultural contributions.
