She discusses major differences in the social experiences of queer men and women, as well as experiences of coming out in the 1950s and 1960s. Gutterman continues to discuss changes in divorce and child custody laws which occurred in the 1970s and their effects on the lives of women. The custody trial Risher v. Risher is heavily discussed, as well as the supreme court case Roe v. Wade.
