My American History documents the imagination and expectations of activists as they struggled, against impossible odds and growing opposition, to articulate a movement for freedom and dignity during the Reagan/Bush years. My American History also includes the Lesbian Avengers Handbook, written by Schulman and other members of the Lesbian Avengers, a direct action political group. The Handbook is both a practical guide to direct political action as well as a document of the new lesbian activism.
