| Summary: | "The compelling story of Mary "Lee" Dortch, a lesbian who came of age at a time when there was little support for women who didn't fit society's gender norms. Unable to play the role of good girl, and experiencing confusion about her sexual identity, Lee lashed out at those around her. Arrested at sixteen for stealing a car to impress her lover, she went down for the crime in exchange for her girlfriend going free, beginning a thirty year career of rebellion and incarceration. This is a story of one woman's struggle to survive in the U.S. prison system."--Cover. |
