- Summary
- "Taking the stories of more than twenty-five lesbians from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, Sasha Lewis presents a frank and honest picture of lesbian life in America today. We learn what it's like to grow up gay, and what it means to come out. The lesbians interviewed speak openly about their first experiences with other women, what kind of relationship they hope to find, how social pressure has affected their lives, and how, as a consequence, they feel about gay liberation. A stirring book that brings heterosexual values regarding family, child-rearing, and male/female roles into sharp perspective, Sunday's Women will interest anyone concerned about gender-defined roles in contemporary American society"--Back cover of book jacket.
