Synopsis

A stream-of-consciousness history lesson from an amazing range of 100 lesbians of all sizes, classes, colors and ages, all telling their part of our collective herstory. From the early 1900s when women gained the right to vote, to our modern fight for marriage equality rights, this is a relevant and riveting story of the struggle for equal rights for women and lesbians. Deftly weaving the testimonies from a 92-year-old 'gentleman', to an ordained minister, to a young riot grrrl, this film transforms the idea of what it means to look or act like a lesbian. As much an inspiration of where we are going as it is a document of how far we've come.
