Her recollections here provide a collective portrait of her fellow pioneers and a stirring lesson in twentieth-century history.It is, however, the intimate story of Berzon’s own private passage toward self-discovery—from mental breakdown and suicide attempts, through hospitalization, eventual triumphant recovery, and her own coming out as an open lesbian at the age of forty—that makes this memoir an urgent, insightful, and deeply emotional testament to human survival.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
