pen name, Gabrielle L'Autre. The Margaret A. Porter Papers contain drafts of her published and unpublished original poetry
from 1928 to1989, with the majority produced from the 1950s to the 1970s. Porter avidly researched and translated the
work of Renée Vivien (1877-1909), Natalie Clifford Barney (1876-1972), and other women from their expatriate literary
circle in Paris. The collection includes drafts of Porter's translations of French poetry as well as Porter's most acclaimed

photographs, correspondence, research files, materials related to Porter's participation in lesbian and feminist
organizations in the San Diego area, over six decades of personal diaries, and an extensive collection of rare books related

Margaret A. Porter (1911-1989), distinguished poet, dedicated her life to writing and translating verse and prose. She
began writing poetry at the age of 12. At the same age, Porter observed that she was different, but did not yet know words
to describe herself as a lesbian. Born on April 11, 1911 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Porter was raised in the Midwest and
attended Marquette University. While in college, Porter first published under the nom de plume, Pierre E. Renet. Porter used
the name Pierre to write poetry from the perspective of a man writing to his female muse, Alys. After receiving a B.A. in
Journalism in 1934, Porter travelled out west to California as a vagabond. She began to write about her experiences in
personal diaries, a practice she maintained throughout her adult life.

In 1945 before the end of World War II, Porter joined the Women's Army Corps and served stateside for five years. During
her first trip to France in 1951, Porter discovered the poetry of Renée Vivien (1877-1909), and began using the nom de
plume Gabrielle L'Autre to write lesbian poetry. Porter's time in France also inspired her to become an avid researcher and
translator of Vivien's poetry, along with that of Natalie Clifford Barney (1976-1972) and other literary members of
expatriate France.
Although the majority of Porter's written work remains unpublished, throughout the 1960s and 1970s she often contributed
to small press publications including The Archer, New Athenaeum, South and West, Tres Femme, and The Ladder. During
the same period of time Porter settled down in Oceanside, California, and became active in lesbian and feminist groups.
Porter served as editor for the local Daughters of Bilitis Chapter, and later as co-founder of the groups Search and Tres
Femme, for which she also wrote and edited newsletters and serial publications. In 1974, Porter published White Heron: a
collection of poems. Along with Catherine Kroger, Porter was the first to publish English translations of Renée Vivien's
poetry in the book, Muse of the Violets (1977). Porter died on May 30, 1989 in Oceanside, California.
Scope and Content
The Margaret A. Porter Papers document the personal and professional life of the distinguished poet and translator of
French poetry. Materials are dated from 1900-1989, and range in type from unpublished manuscripts of original and
translated poetry to correspondence, research files, and photographs. The collection includes Porter's journal collection,
which contains six decades of poetry drafts and frequent diary entries. Other material includes Porter's Women's Army
Corps uniform, personal photographs and newspaper clippings from Southern California news sources.
The correspondence in the collection spans over four decades. Included are letters from researchers of lesbian history,
including J.R. Roberts, and Lillian Faderman; Simone Burgues, Renée Vivien historian and daughter-in-law of Renee Vivien's
tutor and confidant, Jean Charles-Brun in addition to Renée Vivien biographers Paul Lorenz, and Jean-Paul Goujot. Also
among the papers are materials from lesbian and feminist organizations including newsletters, periodicals, meeting
minutes, and event announcements of various lesbian, gay and women's organizations and groups in San Diego County,
including Search, Très Femmes, and the local chapter of Daughters of Bilitis.
Porter's original poetry includes manuscripts written over a period of almost six decades, including material written under
the pseudonyms "Gabrielle L'Autre" and "Pierre E. Renet" and drafts from Porter's book, White Heron: a collection of poems
(1974), as well as unpublished collections of poetry including Dog Days and Dark Particular Rose. Porter's poetry
translations are from the French poetry of Natalie Clifford Barney (1876-1972), Renée Vivien (1877-1909), and other
women who once considered forming an "Academy of Women Writers" in Paris (ca. 1900-1910).
Porter extensively researched the poets whose work she translated, and the collection includes research files with material
related to Renée Vivien (1877-1909), Natalie Clifford Barney (1876-1972), and expatriate women who lived in France
around the turn of the 20th century. The last part of the collection contains representative sample of books from Porter's
library, including books about 19th and 20th century French literature and poetry, 20th century English poetry, lesbian
history, feminism, and women in France.
