From a Whisper to a Roar forms part of an oral history project conducted by Opening Doors London and with the support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The project focuses on lived experiences of lesbian, bisexual and transwomen over the last 50 years - spanning the Stonewall Riots of ‘69 and the formation of the Gay Liberation Front in 1970 to the present day. The podcast is a 3 part series with content taken from the 40+ interviews conducted by Evelyn Pittman and produced by Lori E Allen. Each of the interviews can be accessed in their entirety at the Bishopsgate Institute in London.
Evelyn Pittman
Evelyn had a long straight start in life. She married, had a family and a career in education. Discovering her ‘inner lesbian’ late in life she became active in the community through volunteering for Opening Doors London which supports older LGBT people. Her passion is to capture the stories of people in the community so that we can see our recent history through the prism of their lived experience.
