Spirited Lesbians
"This book is for Lesbians. This book is by Lesbians. This book is about Lesbian spirit work. It starts and ends in a context that is explicitly Lesbian, undeniably dykey. It examines the resources of individual Lesbians and Lesbian communities for spiritual work. It presents the challenge in a precise Lesbian context. We all are engaged in spirit work for the life of the species and all species, the life of the earth. All spirit work is not Lesbian spirit work. Each must find the work of her spirit, find where her spirit bonds. Earth healing requires of each her part. If your bond is Lesbian, your spirit work is Lesbian. If it is not, find your community and explore authenticity for yourself in your most exact identity."--p. 9.
Lesbians, Women & Society
First published in 1980, Lesbians, Women and Society presents an analysis of lesbianism as a phenomenon that developed from a ‘personal problem’ or ‘individual deviance’ to a social movement with political ambitions. Social lesbianism, an important concept introduced in the text, refers to the emergence of a public expression of lesbianism and is a stage in the process of establishing a lesbian group identity. It thrusts the issue into the public eye, and lends vitality to society’s awareness. Two groups of ‘social lesbians’ are visible: those fearful of change who cling to traditional and social views, ‘sick but not sorry’; and those who wish to challenge such traditional ...
Lesbians in Television and Text after the Millennium
Taking up such issues as mainstreaming, the male gaze, and female masculinity, this book puts forward provocative readings of little explored texts and offers new insights into the contemporary representation of lesbians.
Britannia's Glory
This title traces the lives of individual lesbians against the background of the politics and history of the 20th century, and shows the infinite variety of ways in which lesbians made their lives in Britain.

British lesbians have a long tradition of diversity, of action, of success and of pride, which is documented here.
Zest for Life
Features how lesbians describe their experience of menopause. This book suggests that the experience of menopause can be significantly altered through shifting perceptions about body image.
Lesbians and Lesbianisms
Claudette Kulkarni's study of lesbianism explores lesbian experience from both a feminist and Jungian standpoint. Her feminist interpretation challenges the heterosexism embedded in Jungian theory, yet Kulkarni is able to demonstrate that there are links between theory and experience and common ground between Jung and feminism. Using a methodology anchored in Gadamer's hermeneutics, Kulkarni bridges theory and experience by grounding theory in experience rather than by trying to make experience conform to theory.
Lesbians and Lesbian Families
This cutting-edge collection of articles examines the sociocultural context of the lives of lesbians and lesbian families and reveals how new insights about lesbian identities, experiences, and relationships can be integrated into clinical theory and practice. A family therapist, Joan Laird presents several clinical approaches to working with lesbians as individuals and in couple and parenting relationships and to viewing sexual orientation in its full complexity of race, class, gender, and cultural identity. Rich with clinical case studies and research on the everyday lives of lesbian families, this book includes chapters on the strategic language of self-disclosure, the family lives of lesbian mothers, and lesbian mothers who "come out" to their adolescent children.
Lesbian Lives
Examining cultural representations of lesbianism, Hallet offers a fascinating exploration of identity, sexuality and gender.
What a Lesbian Looks Like
The National Lesbian and Gay Survey is a mass observation project set up in 1985 to record the experience of lesbians and gay men. This work draws on that material to provide an anthology of personal writings from lesbians from all walks of life which offers a picture of lesbian life in general.
Lesbian Friendships
Friends as lovers; lovers as friends; ex-lovers as friends; ex-lovers as family; friends as family; communities of friends; lesbian community. These are just a few of the phrases heard often in the daily discourse of lesbian life. What significance do they have for lesbians? Do lesbians view friends as family and what does this analogy mean? What sorts of friendships exist between lesbians? What sorts of friendships do lesbians form with non-lesbian women, or with men? These and other questions regarding the kinds of friendships lesbians imagine and experience have rarely been addressed. Lesbian Friendships focuses on actual accounts of friendships involving lesbians and examines a number of issues, including the transition from friends to lovers and/or lovers to friends, erotic attraction in friendship, diverse identities among lesbians, and friendships across sexuality and/or gender lines.
