Synopsis
'In 1970 I realized that the Sixties were passing me by. I had never even smoked a joint, or slept with anyone else besides my husband. A year later I had left Nicky, changed my name from Ellen to Rain, and moved to a radical lesbian commune in California named Red Moon Rising...' So begins Blanche McCrary Boyd's brilliantly raucous account of self-styled feminist outlaws, their desperate adventures and extraordinary fates. Ellen, the narrator of Terminal Velocity, goes to the heart of the sexual revolution in her quest to find a woman hero or, by default, to become one. A ferociously paced and deadpan funny journey into a new world without boundaries...
