Admission Accomplished: The Lesbian Nation Years, 1970-75

Front Cover
Serpents Tail, 1998 - Education - 350 pages
These essays, many of which appeared in her books Lesbian Nation and Gullibles Travels, break with convention and tackle social issues as current today as when they were written: coming out and "outing" public icons; gay marriage and monogamy; solidarity and betrayal between gay men and lesbians, and between straight feminists and lesbians; the men's movement and misogyny. Johnston was the first writer to come out in the mass media, and the only one to sustain this kind of exposure over a revolutionary span of time.
