Description

Marilyn Farwell examines the work of writers such as Adrienne Rich, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Jeanette Winterson, Gloria Naylor, and Marilyn Hacker to address questions about lesbian literature. Dividing their writings into two genres, Farwell discusses the intersection of literature, sex, gender, and postmodernism, highlighting the generational conflict between lesbian-feminists and queer theorists. The book argues for a broad and generous definition of lesbian writing.
