Críticas

"Morris' work provides a rich, complex, and moreover vital contribution in the production and preservation of collective memory and herstory ... [it] is needed in the classroom, in gender and women's study courses, and to be used as foundational knowledge by which we might connect ourselves in an intergeneration lesbian conversation." -- Sinister Wisdom

"Morris weaves an artful quilt of scholarly research, primary source material, and personal anecdotes in an effort to preserve the history of quickly vanishing, uniquely lesbian-identified spaces." -- Gay & Lesbian Review

"...an extraordinarily thoughtful and thought-provoking read. Exceptionally well written." -- Midwest Book Review

"...engaging ... Highly recommended." -- CHOICE

"...fabulous ... This book is so rich, so wonderful, so enormous an undertaking, and so well written that it is hard to describe what a treasure it is ... The Disappearing L should be included in every history course in high schools and universities. It should be read by every lesbian who was there--and by every lesbian not fortunate enough to have experienced our golden era for herself. This book shines a light on the miracle we all created." -- Lesbian Connection

"The Disappearing L is both an 'insider' story and a well-written analysis of a neglected piece of cultural history. Morris delivers convincing arguments about why the lesbian-feminist era was important not only to the individuals who lived it but also to a broader understanding of what has come to be called 'LGBT' history. No one could be better positioned to write this book than Morris." -- Lillian Faderman, author of The Gay Revolution: The Story of the Struggle
