Discover the Unexplored Territory of Modern Lesbian Life in this Eclectic Essay Anthology

In Women on the Verge, veteran editor Susan Fox Rogers brings together a lively and eclectic collection of essays centered on the "ecstatic experiences" in lesbian life that exist outside of sex and romance. From childhood memories of "being" Superman to heart-pumping adventures like rafting and sky-diving, from the passion of political activism to the overwhelming urge to procreate, these personal essays and memoirs delve into the uncharted depths of the lesbian experience.

Featuring sharp insights and complexly rendered moments from a diverse group of authors, including Lucy Jane Bledsoe, Marcia Munson, Karla Jay, and Linnea Due, Women on the Verge pairs humor with serious political thought to create a wholly original and utterly compelling anthology. These pieces represent the unexplored territory in modern lesbian life, offering a fresh perspective on the female experience that will resonate with readers of all backgrounds.
