Summary
"JoAnn Loulan explores what happens when all lesbians try to the same and what we can learn from exploring differences. The Lesbian Erotic Dance opens with that age-old tango: butch and femme. Then, JoAnn Loulan begins to create a new erotic language that will help to end the silences, describing "other rhythms" of sexuality that are at the same time inclusive and diverse. This book is about reclaiming lesbian eroticism, our history and all our possibilities"--Page [4] of cover.
