A deeply researched and highly readable cultural history of queer womens lives in the second half of the twentieth century, told through six iconic spacesFor as long as queer women have existed, theyve created gathering grounds where they can be themselves. From the intimate darkness of the lesbian bar to the sweaty camaraderie of the softball field, these spaces arent a luxurytheyre a necessity for queer women defining their identities. In A Place of Our Own, journalist June Thomas invites readers into six iconic lesbian spaces over the course of the last sixty years, including the rural commune, the sex toy boutique, the vacation spot, and the feminist bookstore.Thomas blends her own experiences with archival research and rare interviews with pioneering figures like Elaine Romagnoli, Susie Bright, and Jacqueline Woodson. She richly illustrates the lives of the business owners, entrepreneurs, activists, and dreamers who shaped the long struggle for queer liberation. Thomas illuminates what is gained and lost in the shift from the exclusive, tightknit womens spaces of the 70s toward todays more inclusive yet more diffuse LGBTQ+ communities.At once a love letter, a time capsule, and a bridge between generations of queer women, A Place of Our Own brings the historyand timeless presentof the lesbian community to vivid life.
