- Description
- Based on interviews with former members and documents of that time the author tells the story of the Daughters of Bilitis (DOB or the Daughters), formed in San Francisco in 1955. The group was conceived as a social alternative to lesbian bars, which were considered illegal and thus subject to raids and police harassment.
