Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers: A History of Lesbian Life in Twentieth-Century America by Lillian Faderman

Interesting to read this as a primary source itself in terms of how it anticipates (or fails to) the 90s/00s. I'm not familiar enough with historiography to comment on how Faderman "does" history beyond the way it's dated & structured around segmenting history into decades. While strongest in its use of interviews and oral histories underlining the diversity of the lesbian experience, it still attempts to be a comprehensive, almost encyclopedic lesbian history of 20th century America which is (imo) a failed project from the start.
