On October 8th, 1904, German lesbian feminist activist Anna Ruhling gave a speech before the Scientific Humanitarian Committee, a homosexual rights organization founded by Magnus Hirschfield. She took to task the women's movement for ignoring the plight of lesbians and not working to end their oppression. Her speech was not met with many open minds at all.
Very little is known about Ryhling. You may read more here.
