  Long before the rise of the modern gay movement, an unnoticed literary revolution was occurring between the covers of the cheap pulp paperbacks of the post-WW2 era. These were the books that small-town lesbians and prurient men bought by the millions. For women leading straight lives, here was confirmation that they were not alone and that darkly glamorous |gay| places like Greenwich Village existed. In the overheated prose typical of the genre, this collection documents the emergence of a lesbian subculture in post-war America.
