Whistling Women

by Cheryl Claassen

"Whistling Women: A Study of the Lives of Older Lesbians is a collection of the life experiences of forty-four lesbians between sixty-two and eighty-two years of age. This first-person view of lesbian history documents the struggles and achievements of the women who lived it. In these captivating interviews, aging yet vital women share their memories, feelings, and thoughts on a multitude of life experiences ranging from growing up during the Depression and World War II to the realities of retirement and old age at the height of the gay liberation movement."--Jacket.
