To Sappho, My SisterLesbian Sisters Write About their Livesby Lee Fleming (ed) |
-
This is an extraordinary book. It explores issues of sexuality and family relationships. The sisters in this book write honestly and revealingly about their lives, their relationships due to order of birth; the changes wrought when one sister named herself a lesbian; and the subsequent changes which came when a second or third sister also named herself as a lesbian.
The writers are diverse - coming from Australia, Canada, Germany, Sweden, the USA. Black lesbians and white; older women and young; middle class and working class.
Among them are Alix Dobkin, known internationally for her music; Barbara Grier, founder of the highly successful lesbian publishing house, Naiad Press; feminist booksellers from Australia and the US and many others. These are lives rarely heard about, even more rarely written about.
