i’m so glad i finally read one of the cornerstones of lesbian literature. i learned so much about the hardships our queer elders faced, as well as a peak into aspects of lesbian culture in the past. i enjoyed following jess goldberg through her life, though it was quite harrowing at times. this book was compulsively readable, as well. i read it in about 3 days! such an important piece of lesbian historical literature!
