Zelda aka Judith Z. Miller takes us through her early crushes, from girls at camp to her English teacher. Shamed for her sexuality by her parents, high school psychiatrist, and college classmates, Zelda finally finds community at a progressive college where she and her girlfriend are treated with respect for the first time.
It’s 1962 in suburban New Jersey; there are no lezzies on TV, in books or movies. I’ve never met or seen a lezzie, but I know it’s a word that defines what I want as something nasty and bad, something that should not exist.
