Women's Travel in Your Pocket is a lifeline to women's hotels, restaurants, discos, bars, feminist bookstores, lesbian centers, and lesbian hotlines across the globe, but that's just part of the story. The book's Calendar section lists hundreds of women's events, women's festivals, and mixed gaylesbian events worldwide, as well as departure dates for women's tours, resort vacations, and outdoor adventure trips. A special section describes the tour companies in detail, and a mail-order section includes a listing of all kinds of companies that tailor their products and services to women and lesbians. Compact enough to fit in a pocket or -- for "lipstick lesbians" -- a purse, it features unique national" gay-lesbian symbols that provide important details about bars and other business. Thoroughly revised, this 19th edition of Women's Travel in Your Pocket is astonishingly up-to-date, with listings added and/or revised as little as two weeks before press time.

ISBN: 1625852851

Terrifying tales of the ghosts that roam the marshes, swamps, and waterways of the nine counties on Maryland’s eastern shore. They walk beside the murky waters of the Chesapeake Bay, linger among the fetid swamps and roam the manor halls. These are the tormented souls who refuse to leave the sites of their demise. From pitiless smugglers to reluctant brides, the ghostly figures of the Eastern Shore are at once terrifying and tragic. Mindie Burgoyne takes readers on a spine-tingling journey as she recounts the grisly events at the Cosden Murder Farm and the infamous legend of Patty Cannon. Tread the foggy lanes of Kent Manor Inn and linger among Revolutionary War dead to discover the otherworldly occupants of Maryland’s most haunted shore. Includes photos! “A compilation of tales of hauntings and mysteries in the Eastern Shore area . . .The response to the book was so overwhelming, Burgoyne began organizing bus tours that travel to the sites, allowing her fans to see firsthand the location of the hauntings.” —Cumberland Times-News

A New York Times Best Art Book of 2019 “A riveting book . . . few stones are left unturned.”—Roberta Smith’s “Top Art Books of 2019,” The New York Times This fascinating and enlightening study of the tie-on pocket combines materiality and gender to provide new insight into the social history of women’s everyday lives—from duchesses and country gentry to prostitutes and washerwomen—and to explore their consumption practices, sociability, mobility, privacy, and identity. A wealth of evidence reveals unexpected facets of the past, bringing women’s stories into intimate focus. “What particularly interests Burman and Fennetaux is the way in which women of all classes have historically used these tie-on pockets as a supplementary body part to help them negotiate their way through a world that was not built to suit them.”—Kathryn Hughes, The Guardian “A brilliant book.”—Ulinka Rublack, Times Literary Supplement
