A therapist blows a fuse when she learns her girlfriend is fooling around with one of her clients. A huffy yet endearing grandmother discusses her first and only female lover with a women's studies student. A newly jilted 20-some-thing lesbian acquires an unlikely ally at a family Thanksgiving dinner. A self-confessed "fag hag" recalls the life and death of her best friend. Summoning every adjective from wily to wise, lusty to luscious, and harebrained to haughty, a colorful canvas of women springs to life in this book of fiction by Leslea Newman, one of America's best and most respected lesbian writers. Her trademark of finding humor in both the mundane and the heart-wrenching is exquisitely on display in these stories, in which love, death, sex, rage, aging, and other issues are reflected in the very real, touching, and often hilarious reactions of the women who experience them.

"Leslea Newman is a precise chronicler of life in the lesbian community at the end of the millennium—the rituals, the slang, the challenges. In Girls Witi Be Girls, she brings us a memorable cast of characters: dazzling femmes and devastating butches, parents and children, performance artists and sexy seniors. Newman documents the way we live now with wit, eros, and affection."
—Terry WoLverton, author of Bailey's Beads
"Leslea's a lesbian storyteller of a thousand voices—all of which are entertaining, some of which are wise, and most of which are awfully funny."
—Julia Willis, author of the comic novel Reel Time
Leslea Newman is an author and editor who has published more than 25 books, including Out of the Closet and Nothing to Wear, The Little Butch Book, Pillow Talk, and Heather Has Two Mommies.
