I co-edited this anthology with my dear friend and Third Wave cohort Anna Bondoc.

Letters of Intent: Women Cross the Generations to Talk about Family, Work, Sex, Love and the Future of Feminism (1999, Free Press)
“Here, between covers, is the rich, bright, stimulating exchange that now goes on between feminists in their 50s and 60s and those in their 20s and 30s. This collection is not only a pleasure to read, it’s a social document.”
—Vivian Gornick

“A host of independent spirits—committed to feminist ideals, but determined to tread their own paths.”
—The New York Times Book Review



Collecting the essays and short stories for this anthology was my first foray into the publishing world at the ripe old age of 25.

Surface Tension: Love, Sex and Politics Between Lesbians and Straight Women (1996, Touchstone)
“Articulate and emotionally complex, these writers offer us a revealing glimpse of the vast, unspoken territory of eroticism and compassion that often exists between lesbian and straight women. By bringing together voices from every point on the sexuality continuum, this book offers us a more thorough and nuanced understanding of female friendship and desire.”
—Rebecca Walker
