Reviewed by LeseratteA very unserious, but great insight into lesbian history! I learned some new names and life stories. Not a fan of dry humor and I think many jokes went over my head. I also would've liked a list of sources to look into.
Reviewed by Carolin2.5✨ Ich hätte mehr sachbuch erwartet, mehr Infos über die Frauen die erwähnt werden. Stattdessen sind es nahezu 200 Seiten von Namen von Frauen, die gemeinsam Sex hatten. I mean es gab auch bissi Inhalt, aber der war gefühlt nur Nebensache
