Comparing past attitudes to today, she argues that lesbians continue to suffer from bigotry and discrimination because sexism and enforced gendered roles are still left unchallenged.

Nineteen-year-old Claire Pearson knows she needs a life. And new friends. But brittle, beautiful, and just a little bit too sassy for her own good sometimes, she no longer makes friends easily.
