This impeccably researched book focuses on how certain late nineteenth-century and twentieth-century lesbian women were in the forefront of the battle to secure rights that many Americans enjoy today. Faderman persuasively argues that these women's lesbianism facilitated their accomplishments. Diane Wood Middlebrook says, "This book will raise eyebrows and consciousness." It is certainly an essential part of U.S. history.
