Alan L. Hart was born Alberta Lucille Hart in Kansas in 1890. In about 1917 he transitions from Lucille to Alan. He went on to be a successful radiologist and helped to end the tuberculosis epidemic. He was also a successful author, writing about queer doctors.
A lot is known about this early transgender icon due to his success both as a doctor, and as a writer. He is also held up as a lesbian icon by many, although his wife was upset by this description when it was used after his death, as he was a man, not a lesbian.
Lewis and Clark College has a collection of documents that are itemized here. Some we have in this collection. Others we will attempt to add to this collection as time allows.
Here is a video created by Jaelyn (Super Queer Historian) telling about Alan being Outed in 1918
