Personal Review: Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers: A History of
Lesbian Life in Twentieth-Century America (Between Men--
Between Women) by Lillian Faderman

Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers is a fascinating work that traces the cultural
history of lesbianism in the United States -- providing a broad and thorough
overview of lesbianism's diversity, its relationship to feminism, and its
evolving forms of resistance in relationship to the oppressions of the
dominant culture. Perhaps what is most impressive about this book is that
while it is an impressively researched and intellectually stimulating piece of
scholarship, it is also an extremely engaging read. Faderman draws the
reader into lesbian cultural history in a way that is never clinical, but
compellingly human--under her treatment, the lesbian subculture emerges
in all of its varied complexity, its celebratory subversiveness, as a
fascinatingly rich and vibrant culture of historical, political, and sexual
significance. This book is a marvelous introduction to lesbian culture and
history . . . it is entertaining, empowering, and utterly engaging.
