Karl Heinrich Ulrichs is considered by many as the first gay activist in modern times, and the first person to publicly “come out”: an incredibly brave move given that he was born in 1825.

‘When it comes to lesbians, clothes can really shape our place in the world,” says the fashion historian Eleanor Medhurst. “They can let us be recognised by others in our community, or allow us to be hidden to the world at large.”She takes the example of Christina, Queen of Sweden in the 17th century.
