Rita Mae Brown was one of the most articulate political theoreticians of the Lesbian Movement of the 1970s in the USA. This is still quite probably my favorite lesbian political book of all time. Sarah Hoaglund writes famous drivel. Plain Brown Rapper is difficult to find, but worth the trouble. This book literally changed my life. I look back on it, almost thirty years later, and realize that it may have had entirely too much influence on my thinking, but it taught me to stand up for myself and More...

The star rating is probably unfair. I don't usually care for poetry.

These radical lesbian/femenist essays from the 70's were fun, provocative, cutting, clear, and full of a compelling political analysis. I enjoyed the voice a lot, and I feel like it grounded my understanding of the 2nd wave femenist movement more. Thirty plus years later, and Rita Mae Brown's ideas are just as radical and pertinent.

Way ahead of its time, this set of essays, rantings, poetry that Rita wrote back in the day, would still stir up a mess of controversy certainly between chauvanists and feminists, but also among feminists, perhaps even of the same brand of feminism. Its radical, militant, and uncompromising.
Fucking brilliant. oh yeah and out of print. find it!
