Points clés
A Forbidden Love in the Paperback Era
In the early 1950s, America was experiencing a quiet revolution. Affordable paperbacks had transformed reading from a privilege into a democratic pastime, bringing books to drugstores and train stations across the nation. Into this landscape emerged "The Price of Salt," published under the pseudonym Claire Morgan. Unlike other lesbian-themed fiction of the era-books that invariably ended in tragedy, suicide, or heterosexual "conversion"-this novel dared to imagine happiness for its characters. What made it revolutionary wasn't just its subject matter but its refusal to punish its heroines for loving each other. The book became an underground sensation, selling nearly a million copies and offering hope to countless women who recognized themselves in its pages. In a time when such stories were marketed primarily to titillate male readers with provocative covers, this book spoke directly to those living in isolation, providing their first glimpse of shared experience and possibility.
