Told with wrenching immediacy and great power, Naked in the Promised Land is the story of an exceptional woman and her remarkable, unorthodox life. At last she became a brilliant student and the woman who becomes a loving partner, a devoted mother, an acclaimed writer and ground-breaking pioneer of gay and lesbian scholarship. Desperately seeking to make her life meaningful, she studied at Berkeley paying her way by working as a pin-up model and burlesque dancer, hiding her lesbian affairs from the outside world. When her dreams led to the dangerous, seductive world of the sex trade and sham-marriages in Hollywood of the fifties, she realised she was attracted to women, and that show-biz is as cruel as they say. Lillian grew up in poverty, but fantasised about becoming an actress.
