Review # 1 was written on 2014-05-16 00:00:00 Ellen Delacruz Jane Rule is one of my favorite authors and her fiction and some other essay collections (Hot Eyed Moderate) have stood the test of time better. This one, first published in 1975, now reads like history. But it's a history that young people who didn't grow up in those times should be familiar with. She uses the writings of a dozen lesbian authors to illustrate what the cultural norms/prescriptions/ stereotypes of women in homosexual AND heterosexual relationships were, through the late 19th and 20th centuries up to publication

Review # 2 was written on 2014-05-14 00:00:00 Alan Sova Obsolete book published in 1975 that describes a bunch of lesbian writers and the novels they wrote, from the late 19th and earth 20th centuries - think Colette, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, Natalie Barney, et al. It was depressing to read about them, because they were so full of self-loathing and hatred for the whole lesbian condition. Then she goes on to describe the state of the lesbian world as it currently was in the mid-1970s. All I can say is I am SO glad I was just a little girl then and not able to come out. How depressing.
