Lesbian Nuns: Breaking Silence

by Rosemary Curb, Nancy Manahan

How many people found out about this book because of that historical scene from the L Word?

Finally found a copy at the academic library this summer and ended up skimming it. Very interesting, though not having much familiarity with Catholicism or nuns made it more alien than I would have expected. Some of the most striking parts to me were reminiscences about everyday life in a convent. And... now I begin to understand that stereotype about ex-Catholics and BDSM, wow.
