Summary
"A fast-paced memoir, serious and hilarious in turn, of the struggles and scandals, politics and personalities that made up the women's and gay liberation movements of the 1960s and '70s. Karla Jay, a direct participant in the dramatic history of the women's and gay [liberation movements, brings on stage a dazzling] cast of unforgettable characters and gives voice to the sweeping tale of the activists who struggled for their vision of social justice and sexual liberation."--Publisher's description
