Revolutionary anthology for all Amazons Tribades and Warexx'
"...if men knew about her, they might clandestinely worry that she could be the 'superior' strain...they would have no more idea what they were thinking than ever they've done" (pg 544).A magnificent anthology for Hags of the Revolution.Remembers and revives our Separatist past and fuels the Lesbian laughter (Marilyn Murphy, 'Looking for Lesbians' ), Lesbian knowledge (Pat Parker,'Boots Are Being Polished') and Lesbian anger (Ruth Byrn, 'The Warexx') of our future.

Wolfe........and Valarie Solanas! ... Read more
