Book Description

July 22, 1997

"... innovative and important thinking about the various relations between feminist theory, queer theory, and lesbian theory, as well as the possibility that liberation can be mutual rather than mutually exclusive." —Lambda Book Report

"Challenging and interesting." —Just Out

A collection of fifteen interdisciplinary essays examining the history, current condition, and evolving shape of lesbian alliances with U.S. feminists. Contributors explore the social and aesthetic significance of the terms "lesbian" and "feminist" with the interest of reforming and strengthening them.


Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The relationship between lesbianism and feminism has always been complicated. These essays, gathered from a wide range of female thinkers including Bonnie Zimmerman, Sue-Ellen Case, Teresa De Laurentis, and Lillian Faderman, examine how women who have called themselves lesbian or feminist have worked together or against each other. Highlights of this provoking collection include a historic examination of the word "dyke," a critical history of the women's music movement, and an analysis of lesbian chic.
