PRIDE: Rubyfruit Jungle: A manifesto for everyone who does not fit the mold
from Tales of Our Time
It's PRIDE MONTH ALL~~~ This is the FIRST week of our monthly PRIDE-month special where we're talking with members of our local and global LGBTQ+ community about the stories that made them feel "seen." This week, we're interviewing Hayley about Rita Mae Brown's Rubyfruit Jungle, from 1973. We talk about how the book is a standout both today and especially in its time for how it portrays lesbianism front-and-center-- but not as the main "issue" of the book!! Instead, the book is a coming-of-age story for those who don't feel they fit in the boxes society offers them, and choose to pursue their happiness in spite of the expectations of others.
