Her husband’s infidelity and subsequent divorce, paved the way for her late adoption of lesbian life, catapulting her into a new world of lesbian cruises, lesbian entertainers, lesbian conventions and global gay pride events, encouraged by her bemused but supportive children. Meeting a host of diverse women along the way, she welcomes tips and anecdotes from established lesbians, ‘Gold Star’ lesbians, young and old lesbians, couples and singles to women like herself who are ‘dykes in training’ honing their ‘Gaydar’ skills. In her quest to make up for lost time Jan seeks answers to help establish her new found identity. Is she an Alpha or a Beta? Femme, Butch or Kiki? A Pillow Queen or Stone Butch? Does she have to be any? And what exactly do they mean? How does a fifty year old Baby Dyke find love? And how exactly do you switch on your Gaydar? From Hebden Bridge to Provincetown, Manchester’s Canal Street to West Hollywood, Jan interviews a host of lesbian entrepreneurs, entertainers, pioneers and celesbians, in her own inimitable style. Amazingly, she even manages to interview her first teenage crush, Meredith Baxter!
