Resumen: En este ensayo se analizan las obras de dos autoras cubanas de la diáspora, Sonia Rivera-Valdés y Jacqueline Herranz-Brooks, enfocando especialmente la temática lesbiana de estas narraciones, con especial atención a la forma como nos revelan la situación de las lesbianas en Cuba, sobre todo en el “Periodo especial”, a la vez que se convierte en un modo de subvertir la hete- rosexualidad obligatoria. De este modo se indaga sobre cómo en sus relatos se construye el sujeto “abyecto” (el personaje lésbico) en oposición al sistema heteronor- mativo y cómo este sujeto pasa de la “abyección”

Abstract:

Research examining body dissatisfaction among lesbians has attempted to compare lesbians' and heterosexual women's attitudes toward their bodies. Studies have yielded mixed results, some indicating that lesbians, compared to heterosexual women, are more satisfied with their bodies, and some indicating that the two groups of women are equally dissatisfied. In an attempt to more closely explore lesbians' attitudes toward their bodies, we conducted interviews with 26 lesbian college students and inquired into how the following areas might be related to body-image concerns: (a) lesbian beauty idea

The diverse life experiences of contemporary lesbians are shaped by women's differing ties to two social worlds, the majority heterosexual society and the minority subculture of the lesbian or sexual-minority world. This article presents a detailed conceptual analysis of a dual-identity framework that emphasizes lesbians' simultaneous affiliations with both lesbian and mainstream/heterosexual communities. The usefulness of this approach is discussed, with emphasis on implications for understanding individual differences in exposure to gay-related stress and mental health. Results from a survey

Asking ‘What is lesbian Sydney?’ and ‘Where is it?’, this article traces the shifting spaces and places of lesbian Sydney in the first decades after the Second World War. In the 1940s and 1950s, when camp bars were overwhelmingly male, lesbians enjoyed a very limited public presence in the city. Many women created lesbian spaces in isolation from a wider community, discreetly setting up house with a female partner and gradually building up a small network of lesbian friends. Groups of women met in each other’s homes or visited the parks and beaches around Sydney and the Central Coast for socia

The legal category “mother” operates restrictively and punitively to “domesticate” lesbian existence. Our domestication is the reason that we have difficulty thinking beyond the category “mother.” I explore how “mother” is used by both lesbians and nonlesbians within the legal system. In order to ensure lesbian survival on lesbian terms, we must strategize theories that do not preserve the dominant legal paradigm thatcodifies “mother,” even if that category is expanded to include “lesbian mother.”

In late nineteenth-century France, lesbianism became a heightened topic of interest due to scientific, social, and political discourse surrounding female sexuality. From this discourse stemmed a small but significant outpouring of lesbian artworks by male artists. Rendering the lesbian as a hypervisible, hypersexual figure for men to project their desires and fears onto, these artworks communicated concerns over sexuality, morality, feminism, class, and gender roles. Traditionally, historiography on this topic tends to focus on one mode of lesbian representation at a time or discusses lesbian

This essay examines some stereotypes of bisexuals held by some lesbians. I argue that the decision that a lesbian makes not to become involved with a bisexual woman because she is bisexual can recenter men in lesbian desire, a consequence many lesbians would find deeply problematic. The acceptance of these stereotypes also results in sex becoming the defining characteristic of one's sexual orientation, thus privileging sex over any emotional, affectional, and political commitments to women.

Abstract:

We examined the sexual double standard (SDS) toward sexually active gay men and lesbian women and the role that participants’ masculinity and femininity played in their evaluations. We hypothesized that there would be a reverse SDS in which highly sexually active lesbian women would be evaluated positively and highly sexually active gay men negatively, with both being evaluated more negatively than less sexually active gay men and lesbians. We also hypothesized that masculinity would moderate this effect, with participant masculinity being positively related to stronger negative evaluations of

Abstract:

Research has increasingly documented that the distinction between lesbian and bisexual women is one of degree rather than kind, and some researchers have therefore argued for an end to sexual categorization altogether. To the contrary, I maintain that researchers should explore alternative criteria for sexual categorization that might allow us to discern novel and meaningful subtypes of same-sex sexuality Toward this end, I explore the usefulness of a typology that focuses on change in lesbian identification over time, using a sample of young sexual-minority women that has been observed longit

Public and political attitudes towards lesbians have been slow to change in the UK. A number of recent legislative reforms, however, will alter the personal and political landscape for women who do not identify as heterosexual. This article explores the reported experiences of lesbians in the UK, concentrating on those who provide care for others, be this in a personal and/or professional context, and reviews the way in which legal and social changes look set to impact on them. Three distinct areas are examined by drawing on recent research: lesbian parents, lesbian carers and lesbians working

AbstractThis paper investigates several meanings of (mis)recognition relevant to butch lesbians, using the work of butch writers on gender misrecognition, Judith Butler’s theorisation of hate speech, and Jessica Benjamin’s work on recognition and intersubjectivity. Butch lesbianism or lesbian masculinity is understood as a second-order gender category describing some lesbians’ feelings of ‘masculinity’ and distance from the primary gender categories masculinity and femininity. Using the example of misrecognition in public toilets I highlight how Butler’s and Benjamin’s ideas can enrich our und

Chicana lesbian feminist writer and activist Cherríe Moraga has been roundly critiqued by Chicanx and Latinx trans scholars for the gender essentialism and concomitant transphobia she espouses in her essay “Still Loving in the (Still) War Years: On Keeping Queer Queer,” published in 2011. Left unanalyzed and untheorized in trans studies, however, are the trans femme and trans lesbian figures and subjects Moraga represents in her hybrid texts published in the 1980s and 1990s. The structuring ambivalence toward trans embodiment that Moraga exhibits in these early texts enables generative reading

Lesbians are primarily residents of the Greek island of Lesbos. The term gained currency after Sappho, a poet from Lesbos around 600 BC, depicted the state of a female's blistering emotional and erotic lodestone toward another female [1]. While there has been an increase in tolerance and a decrease in discrimination in recent years, and some studies have been conducted on lesbianism and lesbian-related linguistic features, lesbianism and lesbian-related linguistic features have received significantly less attention than gay men's homosexuality [2].

Abstract: The 1970s and ’80s were a fertile period for lesbian feminist cultural production, including pivotal work by Black lesbian poets and writers now considered classics of feminist and queer theory. This essay focuses on Black lesbian poet Pat Parker and argues that her signature 1978 work, “Movement in Black,” demonstrates an alternative Black lesbian temporality, one in which embodied practices of belonging allow for a shared experience of joy and pleasure with those in past and future social moments. “Movement in Black” achieves this through its textual insistence on placing Black les

Although satisfaction and trust have received considerable attention in the literature on heterosexual relationships, little is known about lesbian relationships. Because females are socialized differently and acquire a different sexual script than males do, we predicted that lesbians would have similar goals regarding their relationships and, therefore, score higher on satisfaction and trust than heterosexual women. 50 lesbians and 50 heterosexual women were approached during lesbian and heterosexual social activities held at four colleges in the northeast and asked to complete a demographic

In this paper I consider issues of transnational sexual citizenship. I examine the issue of international migration of lesbians and gay men. For lesbian and gay prospective migrants, obtaining citizenship rights is difficult owing to the laws affording status being based on bloodlines and marriage. This immediately excludes lesbian and gay relationships, which are generally not recognised for the purpose of obtaining rights of residence. I explore these issues in the context of the different policies towards the migration of lesbians and gay men in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
