	Henry, Michele Aina & David,	Introduction to a wide range of scholarship in the emerging field of Gay and Lesbian Studies. "Just a couple of decades ago the idea of positive and creative lesbian and gay studies seemed a fantastical dream. Today it is an ever expanding and exhilarating reality: a rivulet has become a mighty river, fertilizing all the traditional disciplines. This collection provides a valuable map of this new terrain, highlighting some of its most significant features, and pointing to exciting developments. Like all good guidebooks, it encourages us to explore further, to seek out the unknown, to see the old in fresh ways, and to cherish the new and innovative".

	Sidney & Babrbara,	A Liberated View of Lesbianism. (Classic). "This is the most complete and honest book about Lesbians I ever read. It's all here. At first I was afraid the authors were just saying the same things the Enemy says about our pains and how they hve damaged us. We'd have to be idiots to choose this contempt and punishment when soiety is offering us something kind of cute as an alternative. But then came why. Joy, pleasure, equality, humanity, self-determination, self-affirmation, access to our life energy, heroism. I am very glad this books exists". Isabel Miller, author of 'Patience and Sarah'. This book also includes this Dedication in the front: To those who have suffered for their sexual preference, most especially to Sandy, who committed suicide, to Cam, who died of alcoholism, and to Lydia, who was murdered; and to all who are working to create a future for Lesbians.

	Marcy Ed,	Lives of Older Lesbians. Compilation of stories from Older Lesbians on their lives. "I read Long Time Passing with great interest... I was intrigued by the life of the woman doctor, the soldiers, the hiding, the enormous loneliness of earlier lesbian lives. And most particularly their terrible solitary courage, unkillable hope, dignity. And i loved the sexiness of the seventy-year-olds, the sheer vitality and sexual energy of these aging women, whether alone, on the make or splashing in the sea of a brand new love affair".

While there is no area of the city that has been refashioned for the pleasure of its resident or visiting lesbian, in the late 1990s, there is no shortage of dedicated lesbian space, from the everyday/all day to the annual event. In London today there are sexual health clinics, dining out groups, underwater spors clubs, yoga classes, history walks, sex shops and comedy nights all prefixed with the L-word.

	Dorothy,	Talking about Sex, Class and Literature. Dorothy Allison is a lifelong feminist activist, a controversial sex radical and a working-class Southern US expatriate writer with an attitude. In this collection of essays, autobiographical narratives and performance pieces, she probes the meaning of all these identities with humour, passion and enormous conviction. How does class work in a so-called 'classless society'? What does it mean to write about sex? What is the theory and the practice of the strap-on dildo? Why should survival be the least of our desires? Dorothy Allison addresses all this, and more, as she works out what it means to be queer and happy in a world still arguing about what it means to be queer.	Fair / Good 1995     ISBN: 0-04-440944-3

	Michael,	A Life of Radclyffe Hall. Radclyffe Hall remains today the most famous of British lesbians - above all for her novel 'The Well of Loneliness', which was banned as 'obscene' in a sensational court case in 1928. her life story, however, is less well known, though she was a leading figure in the colourful homosexual subculture of the 1920s and 30s, and widely connected in the literary world. In this first comprehensive biography, Michael Baker draws upon such unpublished material as letters, diaries and essays, as well as on her novels and poems. He throws fresh light on this remarkable woman, and on her two major love affairs with Mabel Batten and Una Troubridge, who together with Radclyffe Hall made up the 'three selves' of the title.

	BANKS & WEITSCH, Eds,	MEETING GAY FRIENDS.	FHF	£2.50
	John & Martina,	Essays by Gay Quakers. What's it like to be gay? How does it affect your lifestyle, your social life, your family? In particular how do you cope with the demands of your career and your spiritual life at a time when employers and Churches are still liable to reject anyone even suspected of being homosexual? In this book these and other questions are answered by twenty-three women and men, ranging in age from early twenties to late seventies, in many walks of life - a doctor, a librarian, a solicitor, a publisher, a student, several social workers and teachers - who are associated with the Religious Society of Friends. Sharing their experiences, pleasures and problems in a frank, thoughtful and often amusing way, they completely dispel the popular stereotypes - the effiminate man with make-up and handbag, the butch woman in tie and brogues, the promiscuous child molester - and show that gays are essentially very ordinary people trying to live useful lives in an unsensational way, distinguished only by emotional outlook that still evokes much irrational puzzlement and prejudice. Anyone who still doubts that it's possible to lead an open, happy and positive life as both a gay woman or man and a Christian will find this Quaker perspective essential reading.

	Judith Ed,	Lesbian Writers on Sexuality. Essays, stories and poems - ranging from the humourous to the lyrical to the profound - address a subject which has rarely been exploited in literature until the past 20 years. This book is not a contribution to the on-going 'erotica/pornography' debates, it reaches around and beyond them. Nor is it 'educational' in the traditional carved out by daring therapists. Here the spotlight is on the writers. Exploring questions of definition, vocabulary, history, possibility, and meaning, this book brings together, for the first time, many of the best contemporary lesbian writers to paint a rich provocative, and complex picture of lesbian sexuality.

	BELL.	JUST TAKE YOUR FROCK OFF.	Ourstory	£4.25
	Barbara,	A Lesbian Life. The daughter of a mill worker in Lancashire, Barbara Bell had her lesbian 'initiation' the year after Radcliffe Hall's 'The Well of Loneliness' (1928). Since then, she has never had the time to be lonely. Her uncle Jack was the first in a long line of gay men who befriended her - one workmate even taught her about French kissing in the lunchbreaks. But always Barbara was on the lookout for women like herself. She found them in Girl Guide camps, Paris clubs, Park Lane tea rooms, Hitler's Germany, London in the blitz, a Watford approved school and a Nigerian village. She had two lesbian 'marriages' but also illicit and delicious 'flutters'. She was a butch in tailored suits and femme in crocheted lace. In a silent world she learned to be discreet but she never turned her back on love. Living in Brighton in the early sixties, Barbara zoomed round the countryside in a sportscar, counselling heartbroken lesbians. Gay liberation ushered in a world of more freedom than she could ever have imagined when she was young. In her seventies she started 'buddying' men and women with AIDS and wore a red hat to their funerals. Familiar to viewers of BBC2's 'It's Not Unusual', Barbara Bell here talls the full story of her extraordinary life and times. Lesbian Biography, Lesbian History, Women's Studies.

	John,	Same-Sex Unions in Pre-Modern Europe. "The core argument of this book is likely to surprise liberals and moralists alike: that until the 14th century in Europe, same-sex relationships could be solemnized by the Church. The prayers, services and liturgies for those unions are specific and they are uncluded in the exhaustive appendices to the book... Even now Boswell's work is causing trouble and those scholars and reviewers who have sought to discredit him do not seem to be doing so out of an earnest search for th truth, but out of anxieties of their own. The facts are undeniable... No reader can doubt either the quality of the scholarship or Boswell's refusal to bias his findings for the benefit of any pressure group... It is beyond doubt that same-sex unions were welcomed and admired within the early Church and the wider reach of society". Jeanette Winterson	V Good / Mint 1996   RRP £8.99   ISBN: 0-00-686326-4

This timely book warns of the dangers of scapegoating a single group in society. It will inspire all its readers - lesbians and gay men and heterosexuals - to take pride and strength in human diversity, and in the courage needed to stand up, speak out and fight for radical change.

	DARREN.	LESBIAN FILM GUIDE.	Cassell	£7.95
	Alison,	A-Z Reference to Lesbians in the Movies. Whenever she appears in a film, the lesbian has always made an impression on a thrilled and terrified audience. Often gullible and naive, more often manipulative and predatory, the celluloid lesbian unhabits a world of extremes in which she is either frigid or insatiable, innocent or seductress, victim or villain. Over the years her image has been used to add spice to pot-boilers, sex to horror and pathos to drama. This essential A-Z reference to lesbians in the movies covers 'lesbian films' like Desert Hearts, Go Fish and I've Heard the Mermaids Singing, as well as films that contain a lesbian character, theme or subtext such as The Children's Hour or The Hunger. With more than 200 reviews of both mainstream and independant films, the Lesbian Film Guide offers the reader a broad view of the varied history of the celluloid lesbian all over the world. Fully illustrated an ideal resource book.
