Imagine discovering that you were a lesbian at a time in history when being gay was considered to be a mental illness. 

Medical doctor and author, Patricia Grayhall was just a kid when she was tackled by another girl in the schoolyard – and a thrill ran through her.

So what would you do if you discovered that there were others like you, but no one ever, ever talked about it? Would you decide to ignore the feelings you had for those of the female persuasion? Or would you go on a quest to San Francisco and visit the Daughters of Bilitis?
