Rubyfruit Jungle

Molly Bolt is unapologetically herself—smart, ambitious, and fiercely defiant of the limits society places on her as a working-class lesbian in 1950s and 60s America. From her rebellious childhood in rural Pennsylvania to her pursuit of a filmmaking career in New York City, Molly navigates a world that tries to keep her quiet and small. With biting wit and bold determination, she confronts bigotry, sexism, and homophobia head-on. This landmark coming-of-age novel pulses with raw energy, offering a heroine whose voice is as unflinching as it is unforgettable.
