Riverfinger Women

Since Inez Riverfingers' arrival on the scene in 1974, women have hailed Riverfinger Women as an indispensable classic of lesbian life. "In a moment I will conjur Abby Riverfingers and Peggy Warren and the burden of inventing myself again will wear off, the story will begin... The hammering of myself into the background will seem to be over. This hammering, this background -- the language of our getting older, the time of our being no longer children but young women, that is to say, forming into identifiable shapes, it is not simple. From time to time you will hear that faint tackety-tackety-tackety, like kids at summercamp, making bronze name plates in relief dot by dot: these are our lives, these are our lives, these are our lives." Discover for yourself Inez, Abby, and Peggy, and their richly intertwined lives. Meet Rainbo Woman and Lucy Bear. Recapture the exhilaration and pain of being young and lesbian in the anti-war '60s in this salty tour de force, this romp through a unique time of personal and sexual discovery.
