Cross-purposes: Lesbians, Feminists, and the Limits of Alliance Book

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.Read More
