Ursula Nordstrom and the Queer History of the Children's Book - Los Angeles Review of Books

IMAGINE TWO WOMEN, dressed in tweed, sitting on the steps of the New York Public Library in 1951. It is Children's Book Week, and a celebratory tea is commencing inside the sumptuous stone building. The women belong inside, but they cannot get in because one of them, after searching through her purse, could not find her ticket.

I really want to track down a copy of "The Secret Langauge".
