ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on an interview with Jana Stepanova. Jana is from Prague in the Czech Republic. She is twenty-three years old. She works as a graphic artist for a newspaper. She realized that she was a lesbian three years ago when she started to date her girlfriend. When she was in high school—a very alternative school for artists—she found there a friend and had a wonderful, beautiful relationship—they call it the "beautiful relationship"—for all those four years Jana was there—they had everything but the sexual act. Being Czech and lesbian, Jana had two choices—she could have figured out that she love women—that she prefer women and she prefer women's feelings and behavior—just women, and still be "normal". Lesbian and feminism in Czech are separated. Feminists do not think about themselves as lesbians, and lesbians do not automatically see the connection to feminism.
