About This Item
HarperCollins. TRADE PAPER. 0060973315 8.0 in x 5.5 in x 1.0 in From Publishers Weekly To challenge the common stereotype of lesbians, and to combat the hostility, prejudice and ignorance which condemns millions of women to conceal their true sexual nature, Barrett ( Maggie's Way ) interviewed lesbians across the country. Of all ages, professions, economic, social and educational backgrounds, these women reveal a wide variety of relationships, many of which include male lovers and husbands. While pointing up differences between homosexual and heterosexual love, the author displays particular empathy for her subjects in regard to their rights to have and raise children. Lesbians, stresses Barrett, identify with feminism insofar as it represents the rights of all women, lesbians included, and for the solidarity it provides with the gay liberation and other civil rights movements.

From Library Journal This book offers a view of contemporary lesbian lives in the United States. The author interviewed 125 women nationwide who have chosen other women as lovers and/or life partners. She uses excerpts from these interviews to present the joys and problems confronting women who must reconcile their personal lives with a society that often ignores or despises them. The issues of family relationships, religion, the workplace, parenting, social life, and culture offer insight into the diversity of lesbian communities and lifestyles. Unlike Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon's Lesbian/Woman (LJ 8/72), which provides a historical perspective, this gives personal stories that break down stereotypes and help readers to understand women who may be their friends, relatives, neighbors, or co-workers. Recommended for most collections. - Barbara M. Bibel, Oakland P.L., Cal.
