Faderman samples from journals, unpublished manuscripts, songs, media accounts, novels, medical literature, pop culture artifacts, and rich firsthand testimony with lesbians of all races, ages, and classes, uncovering a surprising narrative of unparalleled depth and originality.Lillian Faderman is the author of 'Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers: A History of Lesbian Life in Twentieth-Century America', published 1991 under ISBN 9780231074889 and ISBN 0231074883.
