Yes, I have read The Persistent Desire. I have got to tell you my Joan Nestle story. Back in the 80's Joan came through Los Angeles. My ex-girlfriend was the founder of the Lesbian Writers Series in Los Angeles. This is how I got to meet Joan. Joan wanted to see Disneyland and I was the butch that got to escort her to Disneyland. I got to hear much of the BF herstory that day and during her visit. This is a memory that I hold dear to my butch heart.

As for the book editied by Ivan and Zena, Joan Nestle wrote the forwardfor the book. Does it match up? I am enjoying reading the stories. I will say it is pleasant to read the stories about Butches and Femmes that from other countries besides the States.

I will keep your question in mind as I continue to read the book and try to come back and give a fuller answer to the question. Thanks.
