Warm, witty, and deeply moving, Thank You for Calling the Lesbian Line is a heartfelt exploration of queer history, community, and belonging.

Drawing on the stories of women who called and volunteered for the UK Lesbian Line during the 1990s, Elizabeth Lovatt weaves together personal memoir, oral history, and cultural commentary to celebrate the everyday lives and experiences of lesbian women. From first loves and heartbreak to friendship, family, and finding acceptance, these stories capture the joys, challenges, and resilience of a vibrant community.

Alongside these voices, Lovatt reflects on her own journey of self-discovery, tracing the path from coming out and navigating relationships to building a chosen family. Together, these personal and collective histories create a powerful portrait of identity, connection, and the importance of preserving queer stories.

Thoughtful, engaging, and full of warmth, Thank You for Calling the Lesbian Line is an inspiring celebration of LGBTQ+ history and the enduring power of community.
