This book is definitely dated and some of the dated parts were a bit jarring ("transgendered" instead of "transgender", the stark line she draws between bi women and lesbian's experiences, the fact that being denied marriage is such a huge issue which we no longer deal with here), but I really enjoyed it and the arguments she made were thoughtful and compelling, I think.

Very interesting. This book goes beyond examining Jewish religious texts on lesbianism to suggest new interpretations, ways of living Jewishly, and adding to tradition.
