Lesbian feminist writing from the late 1960s to mid1980s framed
lesbian community as crucial to lesbian survival. Since this time,
contributions to the field have dwindled and the contemporary
relevance of this position has been scrutinised. Lesbian community
has been branded by some as restrictive and ultimately detrimental
to lesbians because it silences difference. This book considers the
emerging literature and explores Australian lesbians' perceptions
and experiences of lesbian community/ies (1995-2005). It uses
lesbians' stories to provide a snapshot of Australia's diverse
lesbian community and examine the influence it has on lesbians'
lives. The findings indicate that while shifts in social and
political discourse have threatened feminist notions of lesbian
community, it continues to fulfill a vital social, political and
support function.
