Description: "Working-Class Lesbian Life is a convincing and touching account of the exclusions, inequalities and everyday trials and triumphs faced by working-class lesbians. It expands and interconnects the fields typically associated with sexuality studies, such as intimacy, leisure and sex education, with class analysis, demonstrating the relevance and combined 'double jeopardy' of negotiating, and defying, deviant and stigmatised status."--Jacket.
