Anne M. Prouty Lyness
"This edited book of various feminist authors comprises a variety of issues that lesbian families face and overcome. One of the most beneficial aspects of it are the myriad of topics that are covered: from anonymous donor insemination to working with lesbian families in counseling to understanding domestic violence and the part it plays in the gay and lesbian culture."
