In What Is She Like? Rosa Ainley looks in depth at how lesbians see
themselves and at the questions of identity that have defined and
divided the lesbian community. Covering the period from the 1950s,
with its repressive influence on sexuality in general, through
so-called sexual liberation in the 1960s, to the freedoms and
limitations of (lesbian) feminism in the 1970s, she brings exciting
and illuminating perspectives to bear on lesbian lives in the
1990s, when lipstick lesbians were the darlings of the mainstream
media. Ainley deconstructs the bizarre popular myths and
stereotypes which often surround the twilight world of lesbianism,
substituting for them a celebration of the multifarious nature of
the lesbian subculture which evolved during the late 20th century.
In a series of fascinating interviews interspersed with the text,
over 20 women, of varying ages, races and backgrounds, talk frankly
about their lives and lifestyles as lesbians, focusing on their own
identity in terms of politics, leisure pursuits, fashion and
affiliations.
