Description ▲
Arlene Stein interviewed 41 lesbian-identified women for this study of the origins of 1970s lesbian feminism and its legacy in queer culture today. Sex and Sensibility looks at the fluidity or the fixedness of sexual orientations, the individual or community beginnings of such identities, and the effects of geography on lesbian communities. This provocative book, Stein's second, is an important contribution to the discussion of what we mean when we call ourselves lesbian.
