Assaults on Convention: Essays on Lesbian Transgressors

By Nicola Godwin, Sheridan Nye, Godwin Hollows, et al.

1970s lesbian feminism encouraged lesbians to adopt a certain set of values and to conform to a prescribed idea of the lesbian lifestyle. This left many feeling ostracised from the community. This work documents the lives of some of these women and explores the nature of their crimes including sleeping with men, wanting to be a man, murder, body racism, narcissism, objectification and buying and selling sex.
