Praise for Our Two Anthologies
Praise for A Gift of Age
The amazing old women revealed in these stories, courageous and inspiring in the varied ways they found their truth and reinvented their lives, form the very roots of who we are and where we are today as a community. These fascinating, colorful oral histories couldn’t be more vital to us all — they are the building blocks of our history. To read these stories, this sharing of lives, is to be proud. And grateful. Katherine Forrest, author of the lesbian classic Curious Wine and the Kate Delafield mystery series |
Praise for Without Apology
Individually fascinating, the stories featured in Without Apology: Old Lesbian Life Stores collectively enrich, expand, and complicate our understanding of lesbian life in twentieth century America. Carefully collected and thoughtfully edited, this invaluable collection sheds light on the formation of lesbian identity and community during decades punctuated by conflict and change. Told with honesty, wit, and poignancy, the stories are to be savored and shared. Joanne E.
