The House that Jill Built : A Lesbian Nation in Formation /

In The House That Jill Built, Becki Ross explores the dedicated struggle of a largely white, middle-class group of lesbian feminists to subvert the history of lesbian invisibility and persecution by claiming a collective, empowering, public presence in Toronto during the mid- to late 1970s.
