Book Readings: Now You See Me – Lesbian Life Stories @GaysTheWordBookshop

Join us as we celebrate the publication of this wonderful collection of lesbian oral history edited by Jane Traies. Now You See Me draws on a unique new archive of life stories. In their own words, women from across the UK recreate a time when being lesbian meant hiding your true identity - or paying the price for breaking society's rules. "A precious collection of personal, powerful and heartfelt histories of previously undocumented lesbian lives." Clare Summerskill. There will be readings, refreshments and a chance to buy signed copies. Admission FREE
