Inhalt
This book illuminates the hopes, fears, issues, and concerns of gay women as they grow older. Based on interviews with 62 lesbians ranging in age from 55 to 95, it provides a historical account of the shared experiences of the lesbian community that is so often invisible or ignored in contemporary society. Cast off and overlooked at best or victims of scorn and prejudice at worst, lesbians in the 20th century lived dual lives, their full voices unheard - until now. The book chronicles the life choices they made and their reasons for making them, set against the contexts of culture, politics, and the social mores of the eras in which they lived. Their stories of courage, resilience, resourcefulness, pride, and independence help restore lesbian history that has been forgotten, distorted, or disregarded and provide the information necessary to meet the future needs of aging lesbians.
