Excellent head's up! I keep watching for republication of books like this one, and still feel sad that two different more recent lesbian photography projects meant to show the diversity of lesbian lives and comportment both seem to have stalled. Carolyn Gage had one started, and then there was another that was associated with Michfest that I can't even find reference to anymore. :(

There were a lot of qualifiers for this review. Or because the reviewer is afraid it might cause a controversy because it's sans Trans Lesbians.

Considering there were no men calling themselves lesbians in 1979, they would have had difficulty scrounging any up.

Thank god.

Those pictures are from the hippie, granola and Teva sandals period. If I remember correctly the pictures were generational. It shows older Lesbian to the young ones who looked like hippies.

I started coming out at 18 in 1981. I'm glad I can have a piece of my History in pictures.

What's the title of the book? The article is behind a paywall.
