With warmth and humour, Elizabeth Lovatt reimagines the women who both
called and volunteered for the Lesbian Line in the 1990s, whilst also tracing
her own journey from accidentally coming out to disastrous dates to finding
her chosen family. With callers and agents alike dealing with first crushes
and break-ups, sex and marriage, loneliness and illness (or simply the need
to know the name of a gay bar on a night out), this is a celebration of the
ordinary lives of queer women.
Through these revelations of the complexities, difficulties and revelries of
everyday life, Lovatt investigates the role living-history plays in the way we
live today. What do we owe to our lesbian forebears? What can we learn from
them when facing racism, transphobia and ableism in the community today?
Steeped in pop culture references and feminist and queer theory, Thank You
for Calling the Lesbian Line is a timely and vital exploration of how lesbian
identity continue to remake and redefine itself in the 21st century, and
where it might lead us in the future.
