In 1950, Fawcett founded the Gold Medal imprint, inaugurating the era of lesbian pulp fiction. These were the books that small town lesbians and prurient men bought by the millions—cheap, easy to find in drugstores, and immediately recognizable by their lurid covers.

In the over-heated prose typical of the genre, these books document the emergence of a lesbian subculture in postwar America.
