On My Honor

Nancy Manahan and Rosemary Curb shattered centuries of taboo with their international bestseller, Lesbian Nuns: Breaking Silence. Now, in this re-released classic, Manahan documents another taboo topic: lesbian Girl Scouts.On My Honor: Lesbians Reflect on Their Scouting Experience is the first book to explore the contributions lesbians have made to scouting organizations and the impact scouting has had on them. In personal stories, lesbians from the US and abroad share their joy, empowerment, and sometimes disillusionment with Girl Scouting.***"This is an important book. It not only celebrates the fine character of lesbians in Girl Scouting, but also offers, to those who can hear its message, a compliment to Girl Scouting: these contributors 'keep a promise well, ' caring to leave the organization in better condition than they found it. Thanks to Nancy Manahan for giving a brave, and I believe, representative voice to so many important present and past Girl Scouts."Cindy Dasch, MSW, LICSW, OSS Macalester College, St. Paul, MN
