  • Elwin, Rosamund, & Paulse, Michele : Asha's Mums, (οι μαμάδες της Ασα), 1990; ISBN 0-88961-143-2
    H δασκάλα λέει στην Asha ότι είναι γραμμένη λάθος η αίτησή της για την εκδρομή στο μουσείο επιστημών, γιατί αναφέρει δυο μαμάδες. Της λέει ότι δεν μπορεί να πάει στην εκδρομή αν δεν διορθώσει την αίτησή της. Τα παιδιά στην τάξη της συζητούν το θέμα και την υποστηρίζουν. Οι δυο μαμάδες της έρχονται στο σχολείο και λύνουν το πρόβλημα.
    Απευθύνεται σε παιδιά δημοτικού και γυμνασίου. (Primary/Intermediate)

  • Henkes, Ken: Chester's Way, 1988; ISBN 0-688-07607-6
    Oι Chester και Wilson είναι δυο ποντίκια που είναι πολύ καλά φιλαράκια. Κάνουν τα πάντα μαζί και με τον ίδιο ακριβώς τρόπο. 'Ερχεται η Λίλη, που κάνει τα πάντα με το δικό της τρόπο! Τα φιλαράκια την αποφεύγουν, γιατί είναι διαφορετική. Μια μέρα τους περικυκλώνει μια συμμορία συνομηλίκων τους και τους πειράζει άγρια και άγαρμπα, τους βρίζει και τους ξεφτιλίζει ουρλιάζοντας άπρεπα προσωπικά σχόλια.. Η Λίλη τους απειλεί και διώχνει τους κακούς, κι οι τρεις τους γίνονται γρήγορα φίλοι. Μαθαίνουν μεταξύ τους καινούριους τρόπους κι εναλακτικές. Το βιβλίο δεν έχει κανένα ομοφυλόφιλο χαρακτήρα, αλλά είναι εξαιρετικό μάθημα διαχείρισης θεμάτων όπως τα στερεότυπα, οι προκαταλήψεις και ο σεξισμός, στις ηλικίες του δημοτικού.

    ...With a title that's a euphemism for cunnilingus and a plot awash with graphic lesbian sex, this lush tale fearlessly and feverishly exposes the political, social and sexual subversions of Victorian-era gender-benders: sapphists, libertines and passing women. Set in 1890s London against a backdrop of music halls and socialist demonstrations, Waters's debut (published to acclaim in England) is an engrossing story of a "tommish" woman battered and buoyed by the mores of the times.

  • Janet Winterson, Arts & Lies, fiction (μυθιστόρημα), Vintage books, 1995, ISBN: 0099462311
    begins with three people seated opposite each other on a train as it winds out of a city, making its way past cemeteries and houses towards the sea. Handel, a Catholic doctor, clutches a book, worrying at the edges of his medical mistakes. Picasso, a young woman with a consuming desire to paint, runs from abuse by her brother, with his "bull's balls and Lucifer rod". Sappho, seducer of women, carries her whirling words of poetry quietly at her side. Art & Lies intimately unravels the stories of these three. Although strangers, their memories touch and dance, circling a handful of events in which they have met (unbeknown to them) as the carriages of the train flit in and out of the sunlight.
    Synopsis: Handel, Picasso and Sappho separately flee a London of the near future and find themselves on the same train, drawn to one another through the curious agency of a book. Stories within stories take the reader through the love affairs of an 18th-century bawd and into a world of painful beauty.

  • Thompson, Karen & Andrzejewski Julie : "Why Can't Sharon Kowalski Come Home?" March 1989, Spinsters Ink; ISBN: 0933216467
    Five years ago Sharon Kowalski was brain-damaged in an automobile accident. A court battle ensued between her family and her lover, Karen Thompson, whose attempt to file for guardianship and subsequent appeals were thwarted despite conclusive evidence as to the nature of the women's relationship. The book demonstrates that the courts ignored affidavits by therapists who witnessed Thompson's determination in rehabilitating Kowalski, yet allowed into evidence one doctor's out-of-court deposition asserting that the patient would be exposed ``to a high risk of sexual abuse'' if Thompson were allowed to visit. Chronicling Thompson's uphill struggle against the sexism and homophobia that permeate this country's institutions, this controversial work reveals one woman's personal journey from closeted lesbian to feminist activist while reconciling her Christian beliefs with her own sexuality. This is an important book told with candor and warmth, with major implications into the legal rights of disabled persons and lesbians and gay men. Included here are forms and instructions to create a durable power of attorney. The coauthors are professors at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. From Publishers Weekly

  • "the Vagina Monologues", by Eve Ensler Virago Press; ISBN: 1860499260, May 2001, θεατρικό (1η εκδ. 1998)
    The Vagina Monologues was created from over 200 intimate conversations award-winning playwright Eve Ensler had with women. These exchanges were funny, poignant, unusual and sometimes tragic. Women talked about their relationships, their sexual experiences and said things they never dreamed of revealing, even to their closest friends.
    ...It is a collection of monologues about the 'blameless vulva' written from different perspectives and covering all aspects of self-image, body awareness, female oppression, violence and a little bit of sex too (και μια γέννα). It is often very funny, but within minutes you will find yourself crying as some of the monologues are poignant and distressing.
