Until very recently many interpretations of Austen\u2019s work overlooked her intimate relationships. What is especially significant about Austen\u2019s photographs is that they provide rare documentation of intimate relationships between Victorian women. Her non-traditional lifestyle and that of her friends, although intended for private viewing, is the subject of some of her most critically acclaimed photographs. Austen would spend 53 years in a devoted loving relationship with Gertrude Tate, 30 years of which were spent living together in her home which is now the site of the <a href=\"https:\/\/aliceausten.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alice Austen House Museum<\/a> and a nationally designated site of LGBTQ history.&#8221; &#8211; Alice Austen Museum<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2020: the celebration of the re-designation of the Alice Austen House (museum) as a national site of LGBTQ history putting the lesbian photographer, Alice Austen, and all of us on the map.
