About Joan Eardley

The biography of Joan Eardley on Joaneardley.com reads about her private life: As a gay woman at a time when it was not the done thing to openly acknowledge one’s sexuality, she was accepted as one of Catterline’s own, living openly with partners, including Dorothy Steel and Lil Neilson.
