Carol in a Thousand Cities by Ann Aldrich

Carol in a Thousand Cities

Ann Aldrich

‘The twilight woman–as shes herself, and she is seen through the eyes of others, including Simone de Beauvoie, Sigmund Freud, Claire Morgan, Guy de Maupassant, Francoise Mallet and others’

”She did not try to deceive me by saying that she felt any urgent need to be freed from her homosexuality. On the contrary, she said she could not conceive of any other way of being in love.’ So states Sigmund Freud in his startling case history of a woman in torment. Equally startling – and illuminating – are the other twelve probing studies in this candid anthology of fact and fiction dealing with women who love…other women.’ -Back cover
