Description: A "coming-of-age memoir spanning two decades, from the Culture War of the early 1990s to the War on Terror ... [a] blend of picaresque adventure, how-to activist handbook, and rigorous inquiry into questions of identity, resistance, and citizenship. It is also a ... personal recollection of friendships and fallings-out and of finding true love--several times over. After the Lesbian Avengers imploded, Cogswell describes how she became a pioneering citizen journalist, cofounding the Gully online magazine with the groundbreaking goal of offering 'queer views on everything'"--Amazon.com.
