Back cover :

BRUTAL LOVES...

This is the true story of Maria X, told to reporter Doris Hanson, of her voyage into the world of Lesbianism...It begins in the mining town where she was born...As a young girl, her full, round breasts showed enticingly in the shabby sweaters she wore to school...'I was ashamed of them so I wore an overcoat to class'...So writes Maria in this shockingly candid, first person story of a beautiful girl who discovered that her silken hair, Venus-like figure and prodigious appetitie for sexual pleasure could be turned to advantage...
Not, as she first believed, in heterosexual relations but by physical contact with women...'Lesbianism.' she told Miss Hanson, 'at first repulsed me. But, like a disease, it grew to possess me completely'...'Brought out' by a jealous, domineering woman executive, Maria was sponsored in a career as a model which led her into the Jet-Set, to New York and Hollywood, a world of seexual excess...Maria's intimate story of life in the hidden society of women without men may horrify and shock...It could only have been written by one who lived and became... THE VICTIM OF ITS HORRORS.
