Such a sad, but necessary read. Not only from a queer history perspective, but from a general history perspective. You can totally tell what parts of this book were taken from Leslie's real life experiences or experiences zie was told about. They are just written from a perspective that is so personal that you know it was something zie personally experienced. 
It was interesting seeing parallels today and how issues the butch community faced then are still issues the butch community face now. Time really is a circle, huh?
