Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers: A History of Lesbian Life in Twentieth-Century America

Lesbian life in America continues to evolve. As Lillian Faderman writes, there are Â“no constants with regard to lesbianism,â€ except that lesbians prefer women.

In this book, Faderman reclaims the story of lesbian life in twentieth-century America, tracing the evolution of lesbian identity and subcultures from early networks to todayâ€™s diverse lifestyles. Faderman samples from journals, unpublished manuscripts, songs, media accounts, novels, medical literature, pop culture artifacts, and rich firsthand testimony with lesbians of all races, ages, and classes, uncovering a surprising narrative of unparalleled depth and originality.
