[Wikipedia] Gale Wilhelm (born April 26, 1908; died July 11, 1991) was an American writer most noted for two books that featured lesbian themes written in the 1930s: We Too Are Drifting and Torchlight to Valhalla. Wilhelm was born in Eugene, Oregon, to Ethel Gale Brewer and Wilson Price Wilhelm. She was the youngest of five children. By age ten, she had moved to Boise, Idaho with her mother and siblings, but seemingly, her father was absent at this time. In 1921, Wilhelm?s sister closest in age to her, Louise, died. This death may have been what spurred Gale?s move back to Oregon by 1923. Wilhelm completed high school, and spent at least ninth grade at Medford High School in Medford, Oregon. By 1930, Wilhelm had moved with her family to California. At 21 years old, she lived in Berkeley, CA with her sister, Nina Clark in Clark's family home, along with Nina?s husband and their three children. Wilhelm published several short stories in 1934 and 1935, her first appearing in Literary America. Wilhelm's first novel, We Too Are Drifting was published in 1935 by Random House, to many favorable reviews. After the publication, Wilhelm worked as Associate Editor of Literary America, living in New York for one year. She then returned to the Bay Area. In 1938, Random House published Torchlight to Valhalla, Wilhelm's second lesbian-themed novel in which the protagonist, a young woman, is pursued by a very handsome and charming young man, but realizes her true happiness is with another young woman. XX Barbara Grier spent several years attempting to locate Wilhelm. The 1984 Naiad Press edition of We Too Are Drifting included a foreword by Grier describing Wilhelm's life and pleading for any assistance from anyone who knew any information on the whereabouts of Wilhelm. Grier speculated that Wilhelm stopped writing before she turned 40 years old because the world would not let her write the books she wanted. In 1985, Grier received an anonymous note pointing her to Wilhelm, who was living in Berkeley. She found Wilhelm aged and ill, but delighted that her books were still being read and enjoyed. By the time Naiad Press reprinted Torchlight to Valhalla in 1985, it contained a foreword by Wilhelm herself, an autobiographical sketch. Wilhelm lived with her partner, Kathleen Huebner, from 1953 until Wilhelm passed away in 1991 of cancer.

"Gale Wilhelm's writing career is an extraordinary example of a successful lesbian writer in the American mass market. Her novels, six in all, were published at major publishing companies and reprinted several times from 1936 until 1985. They received favorable reviews in several national magazines at the time of their publication. Only two of her six novels featured lesbian relationships, and interestingly, they are the two with the longest printing history. [In WE TOO ARE DRIFTING, Wilhelm's first novel] Jan Morale, a woodcut artist and self-identified lesbian, is initially involved with a married woman and then falls in love with Victoria who is engaged to be married. The novel ends sadly, as Victoria chooses to marry rather than stay with Jan." [GAY & LESBIAN BIOGRAPHY, 1997].

First Edition
[LGBTQ] Wilhelm, Gale. We Too Are Drifting. New York: Berkley Publishing Corp., 1935. First edition mass-market softcover paperback. 128 pages. About 4.5" x 6.5" The plot follows a lesbian couple and the strains on their relationship as they cope with mental illness and explore the San Francisco art scene and is one of the earliest modern lesbian pulp novels (ca. 1930-1940). From the back: "This is the startling story of a strange triangular love affair. Many people have praised this book, and a few have denounced it. But no reader remains indifferent to it." The novel received positive reviews and launched Wilhelm's career as a novelist. Noir-inspired cover art of two women in shadows on a bright blue backdrop. The book has light use, with page five present but loose from binding; otherwise in very good condition. This is Wilhelm's debut novel, which set the standard for early lesbian pulp fiction.
