Biography
Ann Bannon (born Ann Weldy; September 15, 1932) is an American author best known for writing The Beebo Brinker Chronicles, a landmark series of lesbian pulp fiction novels first published between 1957 and 1962 that have earned her the title “Queen of Lesbian Pulp Fiction.” The books—Odd Girl Out, I Am a Woman, Women in the Shadows, Journey to a Woman, and Beebo Brinker—have been reissued multiple times, translated into several languages, and are studied in women’s and LGBT studies courses for their influential portrayal of queer life in mid-20th-century America. After a career in academia, including earning a doctorate in linguistics and serving as a professor and associate dean at California State University, Sacramento, Bannon’s work has been adapted for the stage and recognized for its lasting impact on LGBTQ+ literature.
