Reviews
"The Encyclopedia is a thorough, well-researched and for the most part impressive collection of notes on the who, what, where, why, and when of lesbians…The cross-cultural entries are some of the best I've seen in a project of this nature. For those entries alone, the Encyclopedia would be a fruitful addition to any home." -- Girlfriends
"Thumbs up Zimmerman…Fills a growing need for extended treatment of issues relevant to the histories and culture of lesbians and gay men." -- Booklist
"…nothing short of a landmark publication…richly deserves to reach a wide audience of scholars and students as well as the general readers interested in lesbian studies and history…great value for all libraries." -- Choice Magazine
"…fine scholarly works that belong in the reference section of every library." -- Library Journal
