I am blown away that this is Amelia Possanza’s first published book!  It is evident that Possanza has heavily researched select figures in lesbian history, and her storytelling is engaging.

5.0

A magical walk through lesbian history amy covers everything from cross dressing. Women in sports. Drag.  Lesbians as caretakers through the aids crisis and more.  Histories from archives both remembered and forgotten intertwined with tales of her own queer experience came together as a really engaging queer history book of sorts and I am so thankful I agreed to an arc edition of this as I fell head over heels for the lesbians who laid footsteps for me to walk up on.
