I think that though very short, this book contains history as well as informative views which could share insight with lesbians of all ages. The photography is outstanding. However, the copy is the real eye opener to the young and a poignant reminder to those of us who are 40+. Similar to the way styles and color schemes repeat themselves every 30 years, it is a glimpse of what appears to be a recurring event for those of us who will admit it.
