This is the first authoritative book devoted to the subject of female homosexuality. Love between Women explores lesbianism as a singular condition, not as a variation of male homosexuality. It is based on the results of a recent research study as well as observations derived from over twenty years of psychiatric practice. The author examines the prevailing psychological views on female homosexuality and then offers her own original and provocative theory. Quoting liberally from interviews with lesbians, she discusses their main characteristics, their family backgrounds, the problems they face socially, personally, and professionally, as well as their organizations and publications. Concluding the book are three unedited autobiographies, followed by the author's comments.
