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 views in favour of
a more public approach, 'sorry, but we're not sick.' But regardless
of their relationships to the dominant sexual ideology, as a group,
'social lesbians' threaten the structure of power in society. This
critical analysis thus challenges many people's views of
lesbianism, and points out to the uninformed observer the
complexities which are involved in the contemporary lesbian
experience. This book will be of interest to students of sociology,
gender studies, feminist theory, and sexuality studies.
