In-depth interviews with 10 working-class lesbians, aged 16-22, examined how they envisioned their lives, their experiences related to sexual orientation growing up and in school, meanings and consequences of being poor and working class, and additional difficulties for minority-group lesbians. Most interviewees had goals of partaking in the middle-class American Dream. Contains 23 references. (SV)
