Brigid’s Reviews > Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers: A History of Lesbian Life in Twentieth-Century America > Status Update

I like the discussion of the dichotomy between different subcultures and how they best thought they could advance both women's and lesbians rights. The issue of conformity vs radical rejection of social norms is still not really decided on today.

Continuing to state what we all already know: all lesbians are either gym teachers or work for the military (my gay aunts included)

It being socially acceptable for women to explore intimate relationships with other women but it being completely taboo for women to actually form long-term committed relationships with each other?? Sounds familiar
