Episode 3 - Joan Nestle, Defining Women WARNING - the following program contains explicit content and themes Proud 'out' lesbian, spokeswoman for butch-femme desire, and a tireless freedom fighter, Joan laid the groundwork for the lesbian, gay and transgender movements of today by claiming her right to her own sexual identity at a time when to do so made her a figure of controversy. Joan reads an excerpt from her out of print book 'A Restricted Country' called 'Liberties Not Taken' and a piece called 'Two Women'.
