Odd Girl Out
Ann Bannon
Beth was there when Laura arrived…
She was the brain, the sparkle, the gay rebel voice, and wonder of wonders, she choose Laura as her roommate.
That was the way it began, the one up there at the pinnacle and the other, the lonely one, longing always to draw nearer and nearer.
Suddenly, the distance between them closed…

In the 1950s, Ann Bannon broke through the shame and isolation typically portrayed in lesbian pulps, offering instead women characters who embraced their sexuality. With Odd Girl Out, Bannon introduces Laura Landon, whose love affair with her college roommate Beth launched the lesbian pulp fiction genre.
