Journey to a Woman

Trapped in a stifling marriage in suburban California, a young woman can no longer suppress the desires she has hidden since her college years. Haunted by memories of the woman who first awakened her passion, she abandons her husband and children to seek a new life in New York City's Greenwich Village-the one place where she might finally live as her true self.

But the bohemian world she discovers proves far more complicated than she imagined. Old loves resurface with unexpected entanglements, and the freedom she craves comes tangled with jealousy, possessiveness, and the harsh realities of life on society's margins in late-1950s America.

A pioneering work of lesbian pulp fiction, this novel captures the raw ache of forbidden desire and the courage required to pursue an authentic life in an era that demanded silence and conformity.
