"I would do it again": Past and present experiences of older lesbians.

Few studies have asked older lesbians to reflect on the primary experiences of their life. The following provides the responses of a nationally representative sample of 221 lesbians over the age of 55 to an open-ended question on anything they wanted to share. Through triangulated data analysis, resulting themes include the importance of the Women's Movement, coming out, as well as the role of discrimination.
