Review: The Penguin Book of Lesbian Short Stories

User Review - Goodreads

There were very few stories in this book that were worthwhile; many of the stories and poems were written by historic lesbians of the early 20th century, like Radclyffe Hall.

Review: The Penguin Book of Lesbian Short Stories

User Review - Goodreads

Just couldn't get through this one! The stories didn't engage me. Seemed more like self-conscious, political tracts regarding sexuality. I wanted to read about PEOPLE, not the politics of the bedroom.
