Sex Variant Woman
The Life of Jeanette Howard Foster
Joanne Passet
‘A portrait of one woman’s life, Sex Variant Woman provides a look at lesbian life in the era before Stonewall and at the interplay between feminism and gay and lesbian liberation. Spanning from the late-nineteenth century – an era that has been referred to as ‘the female world of love and ritual’ – to the rise of the Gay Liberation Movement of the 1970s, from an era of alienation and isolation to one of collective consciousness, Jeannette Howard Foster’s life is a study of lesbian struggle, empowerment, and triumph amidst the persistent hostilities of twentieth-century America.’–BOOK JACKET.
