I first learned of Lynne Cheney’s novel Sisters earlier this
year from an article at Cracked.com (5 Famous Artists Who Tried To Destroy Their Own Work)
Copies of the text are selling for more than USD 300 on
Amazon, so I requested the book from ODU’s interlibrary loan office (my
absolute favorite part of ODU, if I am every in a position to endow anyone or
thing, it’ll be ILL…or Planned Parenthood…or both). If you search for the book title and author, you will land on a PDF version that you can read online if you are so inclined. I will not link to it here as I am not entirely sure the copy is legal.
Sisters was not the salacious, titillating, Sapphic piece I
had hoped for. However, it was an educational read set in Wyoming with a feminist
protagonist and a sex-positive message. I am not sure that I’d recommend the
book—I found myself skimming large chunks of text. However, Cheney researched
the work thoroughly, and her effort shows.
