"A widely informatiove, intelligent, and clearly written book, with a bias of tolerance for diversity." - Jane Rule

"Pat Califia's approach to our sexuality is challenging, accepting, caring and practical. She blends specific information with a deep appreciation of the power and necessity of our sexual play. Lesbian sexuality is a full, diverse world where women please each other. Our sexuality shares our life. It changes with illness, it ages, it is a medium for theoretical as well as physical explorations. Our sexuality must be fully explored, and SAPPHISTRY helps us to do this." - Joan Nestle (Founding Member of the Lesbian Herstory Archives, New York)
