Secret Sisters: Stories of Being Lesbian and Bisexual in a College Sorority
Summary
"This volume is an important one, because it teaches, in the most intimate way possible, the complex lessons of embrace and rejection of sisters. Lesbians do not want to be 'accepted.' We want to be, and to have, sisters. As with all love, the greatest enemy of that goal is fear." -from the foreword by Sheila Kuehl The first-person accounts of 25 women stand as a powerful and courageous collective effort to address the traditionally homophobic and heterosexist atmosphere within sororities and gain greater understanding of the true nature of sisterhood. Shane L. Windmeyer is the assistant director of student activities at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. Pamela W. Freeman is the assistant dean of students at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind.
