    About this ebook

    Dubbed the “Queen of Lesbian Pulp” for her series of landmark novels beginning in 1957, Ann Bannon’s work defined lesbian fiction for the pre-Stonewall generation. Following the release of Cleis Press’s new editions of Beebo Brinker and Odd Girl Out, Journey to a Woman finds Laura in love amidst the lesbian bohemia of Greenwich Village. This fifth in Cleis Press’s series of rereleased lesbian pulp fiction classics features a new introduction by the author.

      This is the last (chronologically speaking) in the Beebo Brinker series (the fifth book, Beebo Brinker, is actually a prequel). Beth Cullison-Ayers, who jilted Laura in the first book of the series (Odd Girl Out), has come to the unhappy conclusion that her marriage to Charlie is not working out well for either of them or their two children. Feeling stifled as a housewife, Beth has an affair with the sister of Charlie's friend and co-worker, but that does little to alleviate her boredom. Beth becomes fixated on finding Laura, believing that she'll be able to find herself once she does so.I'm not a big fan of the character of Beth, so I was less than thrilled to have an entire book devoted to her perspective. But at least this book wasn't nearly as dark as Women in the Shadows; however, I found the first half of the book to be rather dull. I didn't care about Beth or Vega, and the action only really picked up once Beth left Charlie and decided to try to find Laura (first in Chicago, then in New York City).The end of the series wraps up a little too nicely, but considering that this is one of the very few lesbian pulps with an actual nice ending for the characters, I'm willing to overlook some flaws. I'd still consider this series to be near-essential reading for lesbians; it shows how far we've come in the past half-century.
