I thought it was creepy reading Julia's story and how her father thought of her daughter as the "apple of his eye". It was weird to me that he subconsciously made a deal with her not to exploit her lesiban affairs as long as she kept quiet about his extramarital activities. Was this just one account or a more "normal" occurence at the time? -- Rose Ferguson | I thought it was creepy reading Julia's story and how her father thought of her daughter as the "apple of his eye".

| + | I thought all the reading for this week were very interesting. I really like the "But We Never Talk about It" article by Elizabeth Kennedy. I thought the story about Julia meeting Amelia Earhart was facinating. It is the first story we have about a famous woman who was a lesbain and managed to not let that knowledge affect her life or hinder her attempts at greatness. - Christine W. | ||

| + | I also thought the article "Breaking the Silence" by Yolanda Leyva was interesting. It was surprising to me that the Catholic Church was one place where the lesbian women could be themselves. I would have though that the church would have severely disapproved of such behavior. Did they just not know that by segregating the women they were encouraging this behavior or were the women just using the circumstances to their advantage? - Christine Wuebker | ||
