Patricia Highsmith (1921-1995), a successful author of crime novels, wrote the lesbian love story The Price of Salt under a pen name so that her writing career wouldn’t suffer.

Despite this, a number of novels with gay and bisexual content came out during this time, such as Gore Vidal’s The City and the Pillar, James Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room, and John Rechy’s City of Night. The Price of Salt (1952), credited to Claire Morgan, tells the story of a young woman who begins a relationship with a married woman going through a divorce. The book was radical for the time, in that its two female lovers are happily together at the end of the book. When the novel was reprinted in 1990, it was revealed to have been written by popular mystery author Patricia Highsmith, who had originally published the book using a pseudonym.
