Three Women

March Hastings

From Back Cover: ‘Infidelity. Unconventional, even unmoral, behavior certainly is not rare in Manhattan art circles. But what was going on in the ménage of the Byrne woman raised the eyebrows even of the most broadminded. For she was supposed be loving and cherishing another artist Greta. Yet she welcomed the advances of bewitching young Paula Temple.

Of course, love between women may be considered a matter of illness, of an unfortunate warping of the personality, rather than of morality. In Paula’s case, however the guilt was there. For Paula had not only a woman to love, but also a man…

Phil Carson strove with all his strength and virility to rescue Paula from unnatural desire. But this obstacle imposed itself: how could he prove his love, if Paula was always in the arms of Byrne?’

One of the best novels to come out of the golden age of lesbian pulps, this 1958 classic returns to delight a new generation of readers. Phil Carlson’s marriage proposal is 18-year-old Paula’s ticket out of the tenement and dingy life with her alcoholic father. But the dream dissolves the moment Paula meets Byrne, Phil’s wealthy aunt. Byrne, an artist who lives in Greenwich Village, is bewitched by Paula’s crush on her and daringly allows it to blossom, despite the dark secret that forever ties her to another woman.
