The Encyclopedia is a thorough, well-researched and for the most part impressive collection of notes on the who, what, where, why and when of lesbians....[T]he cross-cultural entries are some of the best I've see in a project of this nature. For those entries alone, the Encyclopedia would be a fruitful addition to any home.
