Thanks catbot. Read this eons ago, but would like to revisit it sometime.

I'd forgotten just how good this book is. Feisty, fun, honest, and somewhat confronting for some at the time, it was a real groundbreaker when first published over forty years ago. Thank goodness at least a few things have changed since then, even though there is still work to be done...
A lesbian coming of age story which has every right to be called a classic.
Now soon to be travelling to NZ as a wishlist tag.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant utterly brilliant! I enjoyed this book so much it was crazy. I don't usually laugh at books but this was really funny.
“you can't be a doctor. Only boys can be doctors. Leroy's got to be the doctor."
"You're full of shit, Spiegelglass, Leroy's dumber than I am. I got to be doctor because I'm the smart one and being a girl don't matter."
"You'll see. You think you can do what boys do but you're going to be a nurse, no two ways about it. It doesn't matter about brains, brains don't count. What counts is whether you're a boy or a girl."
I hauled off and belted her one.”
Fantastic!
