Fifteen years after its original publication, Mirrors: Portrait of a Lesbian Transsexual, a classic in lesbian feminist and transgender/transsexual literary history by Geri Nettick and Beth Elliott, who are the same person, is reborn.
Reflecting once again on lived history, Nettick/Elliott reintroduces the book with an added chapter, "Fear and Loathing in Westwood," recounting her transphobic experience organizing a lesbian conference, and a new introduction and afterword. The rest of the book remains in its original format from when it was first published in 1996.
