In this collection of essays, interviews, speeches and articles, letters and journal entries, all the contributors identify as lesbian, but these are not coming out stories. They explore the other side of coming out! Once a woman defines herself as lesbian, how does it affect all the other choices in her life? How does she think about sex, families and children, race, class, money, work, incest, alcoholism, health, or disbility? These are just some of the topics covered in this collection of 35 writers, half of them British and half of them North American.
