LUSEIN LITERATURE

With the aid of a young woman from Philadelphia who has some 70 odd titles in her personal collection of fiction on the Lesbian theme, the Daughters of Bilitis are compiling a bibliography to be published in future issues of The Ladder.

Do you have any bocks in your collection that serve only the purpose of gathering dust? We want old books any old books. Those on the homosexual theme will be added to the library now maintained in San Francisco. The others will be tumed over to book dealers for credit on titles needed to round cut the library collection. Because of lack of funds, the library is almost entirely dependent on your donations.

We need manuscripts (both fiction and nonfiction) by and about women to correct erroneous conceptions to depict Lesbianism as it is, not as is supposed.

In future issues a regular department for book reviews will be published in The Ladder.

Another subject we would like more information on concerns women whose familics arc aware of their deviate tendencies. So many of us question the advisability of telling the family. Can you help or advise?

Reader comment will be appreciated.. Write P.O. Box 2183, San Francisco, California.
