Circles of Power: Shifting Dynamics in a Lesbian-Centered Community

Rating:
Summary: Informative, engaging, and at times inspiring
Review: In Circles Of Power: Shifting Dynamics In A Lesbian-Centered Community, La Verne Gagehabib and Barbara Summerhawk effectively collaborate to survey the history and operation of the Southern Oregon Women's Community. This lively and energetic, largely lesbian circle of women experimented with new ways to live and work together. Their activities and explorations included forming sacred circles, building houses, collective gardening, and the publication of "WomanSpirit Magazine". Indeed, this unusual and ground breaking community has thrived for more than twenty-five years. Enthusiastically recommended for women's studies, lesbian studies, and alternative culture studies reading lists and reference collections, Circles Of Power is informative, engaging, and at times inspiring.
