Sex and Sensibility: Stories of a Lesbian Generation

by Arlene Stein

Sex and Sensibility: Stories of a Lesbian Generation Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"In describing brilliantly the great complexity of sexual identity as an individual, a cultural and a political project, Arlene Stein definitively reshapes our understanding of sexuality. No one, after reading Sex and Sensibility, can think that sexual orientation is an obvious matter."--Nancy J. Chodorow, author of Femininities, Masculinities, Sexualities: Freud and Beyond

"Stein does an outstanding job of relating the development of a queer sensibility in the 1990s to the foundation created by gay rights and feminist movements a generation earlier."--Ellen Lewin, author of Lesbian Mothers: Accounts of Gender in American Culture

"At last a work that escapes the stultifying quagmire of the feminist 'sex wars' between social constructionism and essentialism. Arlene Stein is the Jane Austen of lesbian identity politics."--Judith Stacey, author of In the Name of the Family

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 233-250) and index.
