Book Description:
In The History of Lesbian Hair, Mary Dugger delivers an unrelentingly hilarious view of the modern world. The redoubtable Ms. D. offers an uproarious array of illustrated essays, diagrams, and short takes, subdivided into Life ("The Downside to Lesbian Chic", how to "Build Your Own Lesbian", "So You Want to Be a Straight Girl", and the ultimate definition of children - "pets with thumbs"), Liberty ("Far Right Trading Cards", the ethics of outing, and an irrefutable argument proving that if homosexuals really do make up only 1.5 percent of the population, then every gay person in Chicago spends an average of $13.11 on liquor every single day), and The Pursuit of Happiness (the birth of the indomitable alter ego Marie DuGuerre, and her ongoing search for love, romance, and a decent vacation).

Pretty funny, no matter what your sexual orientation. Even though it was written in 1996, it is still topical. It mentions there is one thing worse than being gay to the far far right, and that is being Hillary Clinton.

A hilariously sarcastic review of lesbian life in the 90s, where Ms. Dugger shows a rather strange obsession with eyebrows. While some things are amusingly dated, most are still quite applicable and very funny.

This book is hysterical. We laughed and laughed. A very funny look at women's styles of the 90's. Written like the stand-up routine of a Lesbian Joan Rivers.
