Lesbianism and the Labour Party: The GLC Experience
Ann Tobin is forty-four years old. She joined the Labour Party in 1960 when she was sixteen, came out as a lesbian at the age of thirty-three, and left the Party in 1989. Prior to going to university where she studied history as a mature student in 1977, she worked in television, for BBC Television's Current Affairs Department. She joined the GLC some nine months prior to its abolition working in the Women's Committee Support Unit. During that same period she was also Vice-Chair of the Woolwich Constituency Labour Party. She is now working again in television, this time as a freelance producer of documentaries and drama.
