The main reason for setting the organization up was that a number of lesbians found that members of the Red Stocking Movement were not ready to accept their identity and their problems.
[3] Like the Red Stockings, the Lesbian Movement consisted of several freely organized groupings, without any specific management structure.
By means of courses and publications, they encouraged lesbians to become more open and visible and to fight discrimination against them.
Despite their differences, they conducted much of their work in collaboration with the Red Stockings, becoming part of the evolving feminist movement in the 1970s.
[3] The Lesbian Movement's main publications were Kvinder-Kvinder (Women-Women, 1972–78) and Hvidløgspressen (The Garlick Press, 1982–86).
