Engaging with fears of lesbian death to explore the value of
lesbian beyond identity The loss of lesbian spaces, as well as
ideas of the lesbian as anachronistic has called into question the
place of lesbian identity within our current culture. In Lesbian
Death, Mairead Sullivan probes the perception that lesbian status
is in retreat, exploring the political promises-and especially the
failures-of lesbian feminism and its usefulness today. Lesbian
Death reads how lesbian is conceptualized in relation to death from
the 1970s onward to argue that lesbian offers disruptive potential.
Lesbian Death examines the rise of lesbian breast cancer activism
in San Francisco in conversation with ACT UP, the lesbian
separatist manifestos "The C.L.I.T. Papers," the enduring specter
of lesbian bed death, and the weaponization of lesbian identity
against trans lives. By situating the lesbian as a border figure
between feminist and queer, Lesbian Death offers a fresh
perspective on the value of lesbian for both feminist and queer
projects, even if her value is her death.
