About the book
"In the literary skid row of pulp fiction from the 1950s and into the 1960s, detectives, gangsters, and mad doctors were joined on the book racks by bad girls, dissolute youths, drug-crazed beatniks, and other assorted miscreants and misfits. Where romance met with soft porn there was also a surprisingly large population of butch brunettes pursuing and seducing blond femmes. This was an alternative universe of erotic pulp fiction where gals and dolls were exploring the illicit pleasures of lesbian love - much to the delight of a largely male, heterosexual readership and to the illumination of isolated women in search of lesbian community." "Strange Sisters is a collection of two hundred covers of these novels."--Jacket.
