The Lesbian Issue by Estelle B. Freedman; Barbara C. Gelpi; Susan L. Johnson; Kathleen M. Weston

This important collection of articles reflects the growing recognition that the study of women whose primary relation is to other women makes a vital contribution to feminist scholarship. A milestone in lesbian studies  - a field often trivialized, ignored, or denied, and always controversial - this volume enriches and enlarges our understanding of women in culture and society.
