Journeys into Lesbianism
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
These are the remarkable stories of women whose lives have been transformed by intimancy with another woman. Many had lived a very traditional, heterosexual life up until that point - whenever it was - and made a conscious decision to change. The women in these stories are mostly middle-class and represent diverse occupations: an oncology nurse, a minister, an English professor, a topless dancer-turned-beautician, a computer programmer, a florist, a nurse anesthetist, teachers and counselors. Many are highly educated, six with masters' degrees and with four with Ph.D.s. They range in age from 27 to 65 and some have been married more than 20 years. Of the 36 women who tell their stories here, not one regrets her decision to change her sexuality - and her life. For many, making the transition from heterosexual wifehood to lesbianism was like "coming home," and they wouldn't even consider going back. -- from book's back cover
You are not alone

When I picked up this book, I was out shopping with my first lesbian lover. I was nervous and thinking "These women won't be anything like me." I was never more wrong. There were quite a few women in this book that were going through situations almost identical to mine. Coming out is hard enough, but coming out when you are married is even harder. It was easier to explain to my husband and family, including my children after reading this book. I would reccommend this book to anyone that is having trouble coming out, or for those that have had someone they love discover that they are indeed a lesbian.
