The history of lesbian hair

by Mary Dugger

In The History of Lesbian Hair, Mary Dugger delivers an unrelentingly hilarious view of the modern world. The redoubtable Ms. D. offers an uproarious array of illustrated essays, diagrams, and short takes covering Life ("The Downside to Lesbian Chic," "Build Your Own Lesbian," "So You Want to Be a Straight Girl," and children—“Pets with Thumbs"), Liberty ("Far Right Trading Cards," the ethics of outing), and The Pursuit of Happiness (the birth of the indomitable alter ego Marie DuGuerre, and her ongoing search for love, romance, and a decent vacation).
