A PLACE OF OUR OWN Six Spaces That Shaped Queer Women's Culture

Journalist June Thomas narrates in a clear and authoritative voice. Her focus is the development of queer women's culture as seen through the lens of six noteworthy spaces that have existed over the past half century. From lesbian bars and communes to sex-toy shops, Thomas presents a rich portrait of the sapphic community through interviews and other firsthand accounts. Although this is her first audiobook, Thomas's years of experience as a "Slate" podcast host leads to a skillful performance. Her passion comes through, and her expressive narration highlights the importance of these spaces and their present-day influence. Her energetic yet unhurried pace gives listeners time to absorb her careful research and her call for intersectional and intergenerational queer spaces.
