Del Martin/Phyllis Lyon - nonfiction - 1972 - pp. 75, 205  

Authored by activists Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, Lesbian/Woman is regarded as a pioneering work in establishing lesbian feminist thought. Its thrust includes rejecting the medicalization of sexuality and considering it to some degree a political choice--still a widely debated issue today. Rather than psychological and scientific discourse, the text emphasizes the need for subjective accounts of sexuality and acknowledges the liberating aspect of what the authors viewed as less stringent gender roles available within the queer world.
