After a decade of amassing interviews of women born early in the 1900s, The Old Lesbian Oral Herstory Project (www.olohp.org) has released its first book. A Gift of Age is a retelling of the stories of 22 lesbians, each offering a valuable glimpse into what it was like to be a lesbian during a unique and challenging period in American history. "I often say that I fall just a little bit in love with each old lesbian I interview," says Arden Eversmeyer, director of the Old Lesbian Oral Herstory Project, "and I think you will too."

Note sent to the OLOHP: What you have done is so important that I think even you don’t understand it. This will have a life of its own and be around way after we are gone. To have thought this up, seen the need, and assumed the effort to get it done is phenomenal. I really do salute you.

TF says: The women that the OLOHP has brought to us have lived remarkable lives, often solitary and private, and we are far richer for knowing these women, their struggles and their passion.
