[edit] Summary

Cover of "Women In The Shadows" by Ann Bannon, 1959 Gold Medal Books edition. The blurb on the back reads, "A GUARDED LOOK ACROSS THE ROOM...That was all she dared to do and this was Greenwich Village where almost anything goes... She was a slim girl with silky hair and a shy, sweet smile. She had learned long ago she could never love a man - that only another woman could excite her. And Laura found the strange sloe-eyed girl exciting. But did she belong to Laura's secret world or would she shrink away from the first tentative smile, the first meeting of hands?"
