Sappho (organisation)
Sappho was an English lesbian social club founded in 1972 by Jackie Forster and others. The club, whose namesake was the poet Sappho of Lesbos, met every Tuesday at The Chepstow, a public house in the Notting Hill district of London. The group advertised their meetings in the magazines Time Out London and City Limits. Until 1981, the club published an eponymous monthly magazine with a peak circulation of about 1,000 copies. Sappho continued to meet regularly until the late 1980s, each week inviting guest speakers such as Miriam Margolyes, Maureen Duffy, and Anna Raeburn.
