Overview

In the oppressive moral climate of 1950s America, a young college dropout flees home in search of anonymity and freedom. She finds refuge in New York City's queer underground, where smoky bars and bohemian apartments offer fleeting glimpses of acceptance. When she meets an alluring older woman who lives boldly despite the risks, a transformative relationship begins-tender, volatile, and marked by the shadow of society's judgment. Torn between newfound desire and the shame she's been taught, she must decide whether hiding her truth is safer than living it. I Am a Woman is a landmark novel of queer awakening and survival in a time of silence and fear.
