A nationally prominent lesbian-feminist activist presents a collection of essays and narratives about lesbian relationships and sexuality, erotic literature, gay history, and her own battle with cancer. By the author of A Restricted Country. Original. Tour. IP.
Joan Nestle was born in New York City in 1940, a working class Jew raised by her mother who worked as a bookkeeper in the garment industry. She came out as lesbian in Greenwich Village in the 1950s, marched in Selma in 1965, joined the ranks of the feminist movement in 1971, and helped establish the Gay Academic Union in 1972. In 1973, Nestle and a group of lesbians she met in the Gay Academic Union founded the Lesbian Herstory Archives, which now fills a three-story building in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Joan Nestle is the author of A RESTRICTED COUNTRY and editor of THE PERSISTENT DESIRE: A FEMME-BUTCH READER. She has won numerous awards, including the Bill Whitehead Award for Lifetime Achievement in Lesbian and Gay Literature, America Library Association Gay/Lesbian Book Award (A Restricted Country) and the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Nonfiction.

An absolute classic
Joan Nestle is one of the most important feminist and queer writers, it's a pity her old books are so hard to access.
