ALDRICH, ANN (pseud.)
_We Too Must Love._ pbo Gold Medal 1958.
_We Walk Alone._ pbo, Gold Medal 1955.
Non-fiction studies of the lesbian world, highly subjective,
mostly vignettes of gay life in and around Greenwich Village, with
some added data about the manners, customs and language of the
“gay” world. Good reading, if somewhat biased.

lesbians for window-dressing.
ANDERSON, HELEN. _Pity for Women._ N. Y., Doubleday, 1937. An
unhappy and tense relationship among three women, inhabitants of a
women’s residence club in New York.
ANDERSON, SHERWOOD. _Dark Laughter._ N. Y., Boni & Liveright, 1925,

_Poor White_; N. Y., B. W. Huebsch, 1920, hcr in The Portable

about the rise of a “shantytown boy’s” rise to prosperity, there

Chancellor; the hero’s wife, Clara, is briefly captivated by Kate
during her college days.
ANDREYA, GUY. _Tormented Venus._ N. Y. Key Pub. Co 1958. scv.
ANONYMOUS. _Adam and Two Eves._ Macauley Co, N. Y., 1934, pbr Beacon
Books 1956. Evening waster. Neurotically heartbroken woman
mourning her dead lover becomes entangled with a married woman
because a woman’s love does not constitute infidelity to the dead;
once initiated she becomes entangled in a long affair _a trois_,
from which she is eventually extricated (somewhat the worse for
wear) by a man she later marries.
ANTHOLZ, PEYSON. _All Shook Up._ pbo, Ace Books, 1958, (m). Alan,
small-town teen-age rowdy, fights against his friendship with
newcomer Howard Sirche, because it is rumored that Howard, who
avoids women, is homosexual. Very good of its kind.
ANTON, CAL. _The Private Life of a Strip Tease Girl._ pbo, Beacon

brief episode with another girl.
ASQUITH, CYNTHIA. “The Lovely Voice”. ss, in _This Mortal Coil._
Arkham House, Sauk City, Wisconsin. Fantasy, 1947
BAKER, DENYS VAL. _A Journey With Love._ Bridgehead Books, 1955,

of his wife’s insistence that a woman friend shall share their
home. Nothing is explicit.
BAKER, DOROTHY. _Trio._ Boston, Houghton Mifflin Co, 1943, hcr Sun
Dial 1945, pbr Penguin Books 1946. Tells of the captivation of a
young woman by an unscrupulous literary agent who also happens to
be a lesbian. Highly defamatory.
