History Lessons explores lesbian images from 1896 (the beginning of film) until 1969 (the Stonewall uprising).

Focusing on images prior to Stonewall, the film exposes not only popular lesbian representations - or misrepresentations - in culture and entertainment, but also the controlling negative images used by the medical, scientific, and legal establishments.
