From the Closet to the Courts
Ruth Simpson
Is a firsthand report on what it means to be a lesbian today. The auther believes that ‘any homosexual who has anxieties about reading the book has problems, because we are daughters, sisters, aunts, mothers, wives, grandmothers, friends, and yes, girl friends of heterosexuals, and it is hight ime they know who and what we are. ‘Deflating myths, Ruth Simpson exposes not only the persecution of homosexual women but also the mechanism of persecution as it works against other minorities as well. No institution is too sacrosanct to exceap her censure: church, psychiatric profession, police, mass media, womens movement, government, all are shown to be as ignorant as they are oppressive.
