In this collection, 15 writers from Britain, the United States and
Australia focus on a wide range of lesbian "moments" in the worlds
of film, television, pop music, books, magazines and newspapers. As
well as examining media representations of lesbians in the BBC's
"Portrait of a Marriage", "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit" and the
US series "LA Law", they also explore specifically lesbian readings
of Hollywood films such as "The Accused", "Aliens" and "Thelma and
Louise". Some pieces examine pop music from a lesbian perspective,
both the industry in general and the massive appeal of kd lang and
Madonna, while other contributors consider the "crossover" appeal
of lesbianism in glossy magazines. The contributors identify points
of acceptance of and resistance to lesbianism, and in doing so take
a look at the popular pleasures and preoccupations shared by us
all.
