Description
November Montréal Thirty to forty lesbians formed a demonstration line outside of Madame Arthur's, 2170, rue Bishop, for three nights after the Madame Arthur's Riot, during which lesbian customers had rebelled against a long series of incidents of sexism and physical violence on the part of male waiters and management ofthe club. At that time, Madame Arthur's was one of the major lesbian bars in Montreal. The picketing of the club was the beginning of an organized boycott; within six months Madame Arthur's had closed.
