David Swatling meets two award-winning lesbian-feminist writers: Dorothy Allison, author of “Cavedweller”, and Donna Minkowitz, author of “Ferocious Romance”. They talk about their background, their coming out and, interestingly, one of them draws parallels between gay activist groups and religious rights organisations in terms of the desire for acceptance and freedom.

Producer: David Swatling
