ABSTRACT

This piece is about coming out in Dublin in the early seventies. It is a personal, highly subjective account which seeks to relate my experience as an Irish lesbian, my involvement in political action at that time and my subsequent emigration to England in the mid-seventies. I would like to thank the following women for their support and encouragement as I was writing this piece: Anne Collins, Linda Stepulvage, Tricia Darragh and Lisa Hunt.
