For Smith, 'lesbian panic' is often a fear of losing one's identity and value within the heterosexual paradigm. This book traces the history of 'lesbian panic' through key works: The Voyage Out and Mrs. Dalloway; The Little Girls and Eva Trout; King of a Rainy Country; The Golden Notebook; and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
