With callers and agents alike dealing with first crushes and break-ups, sex and marriage, loneliness and illness, this is a celebration of the ordinary lives of queer women.⁣⁣  ⁣⁣ Through these revelations of the complexities, difficulties and revelries of everyday life, Lovatt investigates the ethics of writing about queer ‘sheros’ and the role living-history plays in the way we live today. What can we learn from them when facing racism, transphobia and ableism in our communities today?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Steeped in pop culture references, Thank You for Calling the Lesbian Line is a timely and vital exploration of how lesbian identity continues to remake and redefine itself in the 21st century, and where it might lead us in the future.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝘈 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘵𝘰 #𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳 @legacylitbooks 𝘢𝘯𝘥 @elizabethlovatt 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 #𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘺!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🩷🧡💛 ⁣⁣ 💬 How have you learned to embrace and celebrate yourself?

Decades later and miles away, Gregor’s epic mythos is inherited by his family as they navigate living in its shadow. As the Kurkjians now struggle with their new, devastating loss, secrets and shortcomings rise to the surface, forcing each relative to decide where their own story fits in the narrative of their family’s fraught history.⁣ ⁣ Waterline explores the complex beauty of diaspora, the weight of inherited trauma, and the echoes of the Genocide on contemporary Armenian life.

For Americans who had survived the Great Depression and World War II, prosperous married life was a triumph. The unwed were objects of pity, scorn, even suspicion. Women over twenty-three were consider old maids.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But Eva Eldridge— who’d left the farm for a job in a wartime shipyard where she made a hasty and disastrous marriage—finds herself left out. Now in her thirties and marginally employed, she is the perfect target for handsome Vick, who promises everything: storybook romance, marital respectability, and the lively social life Eva loves. When he disappears not long after their honeymoon, she is devastated.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Refusing to believe her adoring husband has abandoned her, Eva sets about tracking down a man who, she now believes, was more damaged by wartime trauma than she knew. But instead of a wounded hero, she finds a long string of women much like herself—hard-working, intelligent women who had loved and married Vick and now had no idea where—or even who—he was.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Drawing on a trove of some eight hundred letters and papers, Diane Simmons tells the story of Eva as well as the stories of the women who had stood at the altar with Vick before and after her. Eva’s remarkable life illuminates women’s struggle for happiness at a time of social change, when marriage—and the perfect husband—meant everything.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝘈 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴 #𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳 @𝘶𝘪𝘰𝘸𝘢𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 & @𝘵𝘭𝘤𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 #𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘥 #𝘢𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ••••⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 💬 𝖨𝖿 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝗁𝖺𝖽 𝖺 𝗆𝗈𝗇𝗍𝗁 & 𝗆𝗈𝗇𝖾𝗒 𝗐𝖺𝗌𝗇’𝗍 𝖺 𝖼𝗈𝗇𝖼𝖾𝗋𝗇, 𝗐𝗁𝖺𝗍 𝖺𝗋𝖾𝖺 / 𝗋𝖾𝗀𝗂𝗈𝗇 𝗈𝖿 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝖴𝖲 𝗐𝗈𝗎𝗅𝖽 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝗐𝖺𝗇𝗍 𝗍𝗈 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝗇𝖽 𝗂𝗍 𝗂𝗇? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ••••⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🏷️ ⁣⁣ #thecourtshipofevaeldridge #dianesimmons #truecrime #womensstories

There is her next-door neighbor, Elwood, but the screenwriter’s agoraphobia allows for just short chats through open windows. He’s her sole confidante, though, as she and her housekeeper, Eva, an immigrant from war-torn Europe, rarely make conversation.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Then one early morning Melanie and Eva spot Elwood’s sister-in-law and caretaker, June, digging in his beloved rose garden. After that they don’t see Elwood at all anymore. Where could a man who never leaves the house possibly have gone?⁣⁣  ⁣⁣ As they try to find out if something has happened to him, unexpected secrets are revealed among all three women, leading to an alliance that seems the only way for any of them to hold on to what they can still call their own. But it’s a fragile pact and one little spark could send it all up in smoke.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝐌𝐘 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖: ⁣⁣ I love a female driven book that highlights women supporting women, and this did not disappoint.
