Great Information, good resource.

This is a really interesting book and I enjoyed reading it. As someone working in this field I am familiar with other work like this but there is simply not enough of it. I was happy to discover this fascinating book about the history of lesbians in England. I would love the authors to write one from 1970 to the present.
