Women on the Verge by Susan Fox Rogers

Women on the Verge

Lesbian Tales of Power and Play

Susan Fox Rogers

Women on the Verge is a lively, eclectic collection that explores the ‘ecstatic moment’ in lesbian life – those clarifying and defining experiences (outside of sex and/or romance) that often bring life into sharp focus. From an essay on ‘being’ Superman as a kid to ones on rafting and skydiving; from getting arrested for political activism to the overwhelming and complicated urge to procreate, these pieces seek to represent the unexplored territory in modern lesbian life. Including work from Lucy Jane Bledsoe, Marcia Munson, Karla Jay, Linnea Due, among many others, these personal essays and memoirs with their sharp insight and complexly rendered moments, pairing humor with serious political thought, make up a wholly original and utterly compelling anthology.
