Wow, compared to issue 1, this is a much more sensible publication. The first half of the zine consists of poetry and short stories, still in cut ‘n’ paste style but with computer type, which is more readable. Then a story about coming out in the 50s in NYC, and how it was to be a lesbian during that era, up until Stonewall happened and the scene planted itself into the public eye. The writer concludes with her current situation; she has a partner that’s still in the closet. There’s an album review of a cool folk duo. It seems that the women producing this have let their anger against the world be replaced by nostalgia and a longing for better days. I, for one, certainly like this better. (Frandroid Atreides)
