Résumé :	Lesbians have an uneasy relationship with the art world establishment. When painter Jody Pinto wanted her work to appear in the 1978 ""Lesbian Show,"" her art dealer informed her that ""if she exhibited as a lesbian, she could say good-bye to the gallery's representation of her work."" More than another decade passed before artists openly celebrated their sexual identities in a Houston show entitled ""Out! Voices from a Queer Nation."" Hammond, an art teacher and cofounder of Heresies Magazine as well as an artist, documents three decades of post-Stonewall efforts to find acceptance and recognition for painting, sculpture, mixed media and photography by lesbian women.
