SUMMARY
Drawing on our interviews and experiences with 112 women in three different kinds of predominantly lesbian communities (communal land, cottages with communal center/guesthouse, and gated residential/retirement), strategies of coping, resistance, and resilience are examined by describing these communities and sharing these women's words. Feminist patterns of resilience in fostering community integrity are emphasized.
