Season 4: Episode 6: Stella Rush ("Sten Russell")

Making Gay History | LGBTQ Oral Histories from the Archive - A podcast by Eric Marcus - Thursdays

“I’m a bisexual ki-ki s.o.b butch-femme.” Stella Rush railed against rules and binaries: butch/femme, gay/straight. Fighting for social survival, and wielding a pen, Stella (aka Sten Russell) carved out a place for herself on ONE magazine’s mostly-male 1950s masthead and on the pages of The Ladder.
