Summary

These essays, many of which appeared in the author's books "Lesbian Nation" and "Gullibles Travels", break with convention and tackle social issues still relevant today: coming out and "outing" public icons; gay marriage and monogamy; and solidarity and betrayal between gay men and lesbians.

Admission Accomplished Summary

Admission Accomplished: The Lesbian Nation Years (1970-74) by Jill Johnston

In the 1970s, Jill Johnston established herself as one of the most vital and original thinkers of her time. Vanguard feminist, along with Gloria Steinem and Kate Millet, Jill Johnston led a movement that changed the way Americans think about gender and sexuality. Whether contemplating Janis Joplin's sexual proclivities, visiting John and Yoko in London, interviewing R.D. Laing, or critiquing Betty Friedan, Admission Accomplished makes abundantly clear that Jill Johnston is a remarkable chronicler of her time.

Admission Accomplished Reviews

?Johnston comes on like a flood?vivacious, mile-a-minute, with an uncontrollable eloquence? New York Review of Books ?Jill Johnston is regarded as a natural force to be feared, coaxed, contained, jousted with, enjoyed, never ignored? New York Magazine ?Jill Johnston?s book [Lesbian Nation] is honest, outrageous, stylistically unique, brave, vulnerable and full of love. If you read it, you will never be sure of anything? Gloria Steinem
