The first issue of an English-language periodical dedicated to serving lesbian communities in Indonesia, including foreigners and expats. "Through these pages, we are aiming to link Indonesian lesbians with each other, with non-Indonesian lesbians living in the country and anywhere else around the world. We realise how important it is to link ourselves to sisters outside the country since lesbian life here is extremely isolated. We hope these pages can also provide an insight to overseas lesbians of the existing lesbian life in Indonesia, a country of 180 million people and more than 13,000 islands." Not recorded in OCLC.
