It might be a good idea to distinguish between lesbian writers, who write on the subject of female homosexuality, from those who do not, as this is a distinct genre in itself. Scudder didn't as far as I can tell from what others have written about her. I haven't read her autobiography myself. Mike Hayes (talk) 19:00, 13 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
