Product Description
Looks in-depth at how lesbians see themselves & at the questions of identity that have defined & divided the lesbian community. Covering the period from the 1950s, with its repressive influence on sexuality in general, through the so-called sexual liberation in the 1960s, to the freedoms & limitations of (lesbian) feminism in the 1970s, Ainley brings exciting & illuminating perspectives to bear on lesbian lives in the 1990s. Over 20 women, of varying ages, races & backgrounds, talk frankly about their own lives & lifestyles as lesbians, focusing on their own identity in terms of politics, leisure pursuits, fashion & affiliations.
