SAMPLE
註釋
A literary lesbian landmark that “will transport today’s readers . . . to the 1950s homosexual scene” (
Marcia M. Gallo, author of
Different Daughters
).
Three years after the publication of her groundbreaking 1955 bestseller,
We Walk Alone
, Ann Aldrich expanded on her journalistic portraits of lesbian subcultures in and around New York, in
We, Too, Must Love
.
Inspired by the hundreds of letters she received by women from around the country (many reprinted here), Aldrich tackled questions of class division; explored the diverse careers lesbians held; guided readers through the social cliques and bar scenes; set the record straight on gay stereotypes; observed the differences among the “Village,” “Uptown,” and Brooklyn lesbian communities; and hinted at the growing consciousness that would fuel later lesbian and gay rights movements.
We Walk Alone
and
We, Too, Must Love
are, in effect, “indispensable guides to a hidden world” (Advocate.com).
“Simultaneously intimate and investigative, subjective and discerning” (
UTNE Magazine
), “Aldrich touched innumerable lives and gave hope to lesbians mired in a harsh and ignorant era. Read these books to learn what it was like back then, what we believed and how we made a start in the struggle against prejudice.” —Ann Bannon, author of
The Beebo Brinker Chronicles
