À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'An inspiring celebration of lesbian camaraderie, activism and fun' SARAH WATERS

'A must-have for any queer bookshelf' TEGAN QUIN

As long as queer women have existed, they've gathered in places where they can be themselves. From the intimate darkness of the lesbian bar to the sweaty camaraderie of the sports pitch, these spaces aren't a luxury - they're a necessity.

Blending memoir, archival research and interviews, journalist June Thomas invites readers into six iconic lesbian spaces over the last sixty years: the lesbian bar, the softball diamond, the rural commune, the sex toy boutique, the holiday destination and the feminist bookstore.

A love letter, time capsule and bridge between generations of queer women, A Place of Our Own brings the history - and timeless present - of the lesbian community to vivid life.
