A Place of Our Own - Six Spaces that Shaped Queer Women s Culture A cracking read Val

Fun-to-read, this breathless tour through the worlds we built, is also sobering. Lesbians accomplished so much when we weren''t confused about what the straight world felt about us. The depth of culture, sub-culture, and fascinating history that comes alive in this book captures a world before the internet, when In Real Life was real life, and before corporate white-washing, obscuring the complexity of our connections and experiences. A PLACE OF OUR OWN illustrates a time when each woman had to venture out into the world of the unknown to create her lesbian life, and all the unforeseen adventures she encountered and created.
