	Henry, Michele Aina & David,	Introduction to a wide range of scholarship in the emerging field of Gay and Lesbian Studies. "Just a couple of decades ago the idea of positive and creative lesbian and gay studies seemed a fantastical dream. Today it is an ever expanding and exhilarating reality: a rivulet has become a mighty river, fertilizing all the traditional disciplines. This collection provides a valuable map of this new terrain, highlighting some of its most significant features, and pointing to exciting developments. Like all good guidebooks, it encourages us to explore further, to seek out the unknown, to see the old in fresh ways, and to cherish the new and innovative".

	Sidney & Babrbara,	A Liberated View of Lesbianism. (Classic). "This is the most complete and honest book about Lesbians I ever read. It's all here. At first I was afraid the authors were just saying the same things the Enemy says about our pains and how they hve damaged us. We'd have to be idiots to choose this contempt and punishment when soiety is offering us something kind of cute as an alternative. But then came why. Joy, pleasure, equality, humanity, self-determination, self-affirmation, access to our life energy, heroism. I am very glad this books exists". Isabel Miller, author of 'Patience and Sarah'. This book also includes this Dedication in the front: To those who have suffered for their sexual preference, most especially to Sandy, who committed suicide, to Cam, who died of alcoholism, and to Lydia, who was murdered; and to all who are working to create a future for Lesbians.

	Dorothy,	Talking about Sex, Class and Literature. Dorothy Allison is a lifelong feminist activist, a controversial sex radical and a working-class Southern US expatriate writer with an attitude. In this collection of essays, autobiographical narratives and performance pieces, she probes the meaning of all these identities with humour, passion and enormous conviction. How does class work in a so-called 'classless society'? What does it mean to write about sex? What is the theory and the practice of the strap-on dildo? Why should survival be the least of our desires? Dorothy Allison addresses all this, and more, as she works out what it means to be queer and happy in a world still arguing about what it means to be queer.	Fair / Good 1995     ISBN: 0-04-440944-3

	Michael,	A Life of Radclyffe Hall. Radclyffe Hall remains today the most famous of British lesbians - above all for her novel 'The Well of Loneliness', which was banned as 'obscene' in a sensational court case in 1928. her life story, however, is less well known, though she was a leading figure in the colourful homosexual subculture of the 1920s and 30s, and widely connected in the literary world. In this first comprehensive biography, Michael Baker draws upon such unpublished material as letters, diaries and essays, as well as on her novels and poems. He throws fresh light on this remarkable woman, and on her two major love affairs with Mabel Batten and Una Troubridge, who together with Radclyffe Hall made up the 'three selves' of the title.

	BANKS & WEITSCH, Eds,	MEETING GAY FRIENDS.	FHF	£2.50
	John & Martina,	Essays by Gay Quakers. What's it like to be gay? How does it affect your lifestyle, your social life, your family? In particular how do you cope with the demands of your career and your spiritual life at a time when employers and Churches are still liable to reject anyone even suspected of being homosexual? In this book these and other questions are answered by twenty-three women and men, ranging in age from early twenties to late seventies, in many walks of life - a doctor, a librarian, a solicitor, a publisher, a student, several social workers and teachers - who are associated with the Religious Society of Friends. Sharing their experiences, pleasures and problems in a frank, thoughtful and often amusing way, they completely dispel the popular stereotypes - the effiminate man with make-up and handbag, the butch woman in tie and brogues, the promiscuous child molester - and show that gays are essentially very ordinary people trying to live useful lives in an unsensational way, distinguished only by emotional outlook that still evokes much irrational puzzlement and prejudice. Anyone who still doubts that it's possible to lead an open, happy and positive life as both a gay woman or man and a Christian will find this Quaker perspective essential reading.

	BELL.	JUST TAKE YOUR FROCK OFF.	Ourstory	£4.25
	Barbara,	A Lesbian Life. The daughter of a mill worker in Lancashire, Barbara Bell had her lesbian 'initiation' the year after Radcliffe Hall's 'The Well of Loneliness' (1928). Since then, she has never had the time to be lonely. Her uncle Jack was the first in a long line of gay men who befriended her - one workmate even taught her about French kissing in the lunchbreaks. But always Barbara was on the lookout for women like herself. She found them in Girl Guide camps, Paris clubs, Park Lane tea rooms, Hitler's Germany, London in the blitz, a Watford approved school and a Nigerian village. She had two lesbian 'marriages' but also illicit and delicious 'flutters'. She was a butch in tailored suits and femme in crocheted lace. In a silent world she learned to be discreet but she never turned her back on love. Living in Brighton in the early sixties, Barbara zoomed round the countryside in a sportscar, counselling heartbroken lesbians. Gay liberation ushered in a world of more freedom than she could ever have imagined when she was young. In her seventies she started 'buddying' men and women with AIDS and wore a red hat to their funerals. Familiar to viewers of BBC2's 'It's Not Unusual', Barbara Bell here talls the full story of her extraordinary life and times. Lesbian Biography, Lesbian History, Women's Studies.

	John,	Same-Sex Unions in Pre-Modern Europe. "The core argument of this book is likely to surprise liberals and moralists alike: that until the 14th century in Europe, same-sex relationships could be solemnized by the Church. The prayers, services and liturgies for those unions are specific and they are uncluded in the exhaustive appendices to the book... Even now Boswell's work is causing trouble and those scholars and reviewers who have sought to discredit him do not seem to be doing so out of an earnest search for th truth, but out of anxieties of their own. The facts are undeniable... No reader can doubt either the quality of the scholarship or Boswell's refusal to bias his findings for the benefit of any pressure group... It is beyond doubt that same-sex unions were welcomed and admired within the early Church and the wider reach of society". Jeanette Winterson	V Good / Mint 1996   RRP £8.99   ISBN: 0-00-686326-4

More than an anthology of coming out stories, Radical Records chronicles, by way of personal accounts, the contributions made by lesbians and gay men in shaping new directions for the left and in civil liberties.

But the contributors look beyond the issue of gay rights. Exploring their experiences of working separately and in alliances, thay turn towards a politics which embraces a commitment against all oppressions. This timely book warns of the dangers of scapegoating a single group in society. It will inspire all its readers - lesbians and gay men and heterosexuals - to take pride and strength in human diversity, and in the courage needed to stand up, speak out and fight for radical change.

	Alison,	A-Z Reference to Lesbians in the Movies. Whenever she appears in a film, the lesbian has always made an impression on a thrilled and terrified audience. Often gullible and naive, more often manipulative and predatory, the celluloid lesbian unhabits a world of extremes in which she is either frigid or insatiable, innocent or seductress, victim or villain. Over the years her image has been used to add spice to pot-boilers, sex to horror and pathos to drama. This essential A-Z reference to lesbians in the movies covers 'lesbian films' like Desert Hearts, Go Fish and I've Heard the Mermaids Singing, as well as films that contain a lesbian character, theme or subtext such as The Children's Hour or The Hunger. With more than 200 reviews of both mainstream and independant films, the Lesbian Film Guide offers the reader a broad view of the varied history of the celluloid lesbian all over the world.

	DONOGHUE	WE ARE MICHAEL FIELD	Outlines	£3.95
	Emma,	The Story of two eccentric Victorian Spinsters. For the first time, Emma Donoghue tells the story of two eccentric Victorian spinsters; Katherine Bradley(1846-1914) and her niece Edith Cooper(1862-1913); poets and lovers, who wrote together under the name of Michael Field. They wrote eleven volumes of poetry and thirty historical tragedies, but perhaps their best work - richest in emotional honesty and wit - was the diary that the two women shared for a quarter of a century. Donoghues's groundbreaking Outline is based on these unpublished journals and letters. The michaels lived in a contradictory world of inherited wealth and terrible illness, silly nicknames and religious crises. They preferred men to women, and yet their greatest devotion was saved for their dog. Snobbish, arrogant eccentrics who faced bereavement and death with great courage, and never lost their appetite for life or their passion for each other.

	Emma,	British Lesbian Culture 1668 – 1801. Looking at stories of lesbian desires, acts and identities form the Restoration to the beginning of the nineteenth century. Far from being invisible, the figure of the woman who felt passion for women in this period was a subject of confusion and contradiction: she could be put in a freak show as a 'hermaphrodite', denounced as a 'tribade' or 'lesbian', reveared as a 'romantic friend', jailed as a 'female husband' or gossiped about as a 'woman-lover', 'tommy' or 'Sapphist'. Through an examination of a wealth of new medical, legal and erotic source material, together with re-reading of classics of English literature, Emma Donoghue uncovers the astonishing range of lesbian and bisexual identities described in British texts between 1668 and 1801. Female pirates and spiritual mentors, chambermaids and queens, poets and prostitutes, country idylls and whipping clubs all take their place in an intriguing panorama of lesbian lives and loves.

Homosexual acts are common everywhere, but have there always been people who were looked upon (and defined themselves) as 'homosexuals'? Is there a continuum or a clearcut distinction between passionate friendship and lesbianism? Such important theoretical and political issues are touched on by several contributors to this book, which includes research into gay life from Imperial China to Castro's Cuba, from South Africa to San Francisco, from Renaissance Italy to Nazi Germany, from London to Harlem to Japan. Other chapters look at 'the new woman', 'Mary-Annes', male prostitutes and 'molly houses', cross dressing and schoolgirl crushes in English public schools.

	EISENBACH.	LESBIAN MADE EASY.	Virago	£4.50
	Helen,	These days who doesn't want to be a lesbian? In literature and life, entertainment and sport, lesbians are the queen arbiters of what's hot and what's chic. But like anything which requires a major break with old habits, becoming a lesbian is not the easiest thing in the world to pull off. There are rules. In this comprehensive, if irreverent, self-help manual, Helen Eisenbach throws open the closet door and makes effortless what was considered a difficult lifestyle. By sharing her professionalism on the nuances of the lingo, the special responsibilities, the sacred duties, the correct way to seduce one's brother's girlfriend, she guides the reader through to the big question: who does what to whom in the bedroom.

	Lillian,	A History of Lesbian life in Twentieth-Century America. The term 'lesbian' came into use when late nineteenth-century European sexologists began to explore female same-sex loving. The women thus described accepted this label but set out to alter sexologists definitions and create identities and ideologies for themselves. Faderman offers a decade-by-decade account of this evolution in the twentieth century, looking at the establishment of lesbian subcultures and the ways in which feminism and gay liberation have gradually destigmatized female seam-sex loving today. Her often surprising narrative is based on a refreshing variety of sources, including journals, unpublished manuscripts, songs, news accounts, novels, medical literature, and numerous personal interviews with lesbians of all races, ages, and classes.

	Lillian,	Romantic Friendship and Love between Women from the Renaissance to the Present. A quietly revolutionary book which reconstrusts a lost history of women loving women. Here Lillian Faderman explores the different forms which that love has taken over the years, from the elaborate deceptions of Deborah Sampson, soldier of the American Revolution, to the genteel Ladies of Llangollen and the notorius 'Boston marriages' of the nineteenth century. Drawing on a rich variety of historical sources, from love letters, trial records, even pornography and the proclamations of the 'experts', Faderman takes a subversive look atht eh traditional view of lesbianism. She demonstrates how shifting theories of female sexuality have affected what is defined as love between women, and why what is acceptible in one age - women vowing eternal love, living and even sleeping together in the name of 'romantic friendship' - becomes taboo in another.

Young township skesanas spinning the jive talk of isingqumo on the streets of Soweto. Lesbian working class couples on the Cape Flats. Gay prisoners of conscience. Anti-apartheid activists. Conscripts in the South African Defence Force. These are some of the voices heard in this path-breaking collection of critical essays, personal narratives and histories. Defiant Desire records, exuberantly and incisively, how gay and lesbian South Africans of all races have lived in the face of censure and denial. Gay identities have been forged and explored, for decades, all over the country - from Maddame Joey Costello's Moffie Drag salon in Woodstock to Ma Thoko's gay shebeen in kwaThema; from a gay church in a Pretoria nightclub to the streets of Johannesburg during the annual lesbian and gay pride march; from Afrikaans love poetry to the new activists' firebrand rhetoric. Defiant Desire brings together in one volume South Africa's most prominent lesbian and gay activists, writers and academics. Together, they refute the notion that homosexuality is a white, male or middle-class phenomenon. Their writing brings to life the relationship between the burgeoning lesbian and gay human rights movement and the broader anti-apartheid struggle at this time of transition. And they challenge a reawakening South Africa to build a new society that respects and cherishes all its citizens. Defiant Desire is a powerful, articulate and engrossing testimony to the range of gay and lesbian experiences in South Africa. And for anyone interested in the sexual politics coursing beneath the country's troubled passage to democracy, it is indispensable reading.	Fair / Good 1994   £2 P&P (UK)     ISBN: 0-86975-435-1

	GIBBS.	DARING TO DISSENT	Cassell	£5.50
	Liz, Ed,	Lesbian Culture from Margin to Mainstream. Lesbian culture has developed at an incredible pace in the UK and USA over the last 30 years. Daring to Dissent explores a plethora of lesbian media to reveal a dazzling diversity of talent which continues to flourish despite the mainstream pressures of misogyny and heterosexualism. These critical essays includes perspectives on lesbian television, radio, journalism, theatre, literature, film and poetry. Daring to Dissent examines the strength and creativity which have evoloved within independent lesbian culture, from the representation of lesbian sexuality on stage in Holly Hughes' 'dykenoir' and use of the butch and femme dynamic of Split Britches to the popularisation of lesbian heroines such as Barbara Wilson's Irish Catholic and working-class sleuth, Cassandra reily. This creativity exists alongside the mainstream media's fascination with all things lesbian, and the book examines ways in which lesbians have used this transistory interest to achieve a more permenant profile in the mainstream. Daring to Dissent tracks the journey from margin to mainstream in many ways which include exclusive interviews with the editors of Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire and New Woman. The contributors to this collection range from high-profile novelists Barbara Wilson and Mary Wings and queer theorist Cherry Smyth to radio producers Sheridan Nye and Nicola Godwin and journalists Veronica Groocock and Shameen Kabir. The editor, Liz Gibbs, is an editorial consultant for the Cassell Sexual Politics list and for the new lesbian magazine, Diva.	Good / V Good 1994         ISBN: 0-304-32796-4

	John,	Male and Female Homosexuality in Twentieth-Century Music. Many, many more lesbian and gay men have been active at the forefront of the music industry in recent decades than official histories, critical works and sometimes individuals themselves have been willing to acknowledge. Furthermore, much lesbian and gay criticism has also omitted this, partly owing to the inaccessibility of information, but also because some of the areas - indie rock, classical, blues, jazz, the avante-garde - have seemed impassable (or plain unfashionable) to most observers and critics in the gay media. This new study aims to redress these imbalances. From the careers of Benjamin Britten and Bessie Smith to the b-boys of rap and the space cadets of ambient, via some famous jazz figures who were never allowed to come out of the closet. John Gill looks at the musicians in the twentieth century who were forced to keep their sexuality a secret, and the nature of those forces. It is not a book about outing, but it is a book about freely available information which the author believes should be put on record.	Good / V Good 1995       ISBN: 0-304-34302-1

	Nicola, Belinda & Sheridan,	Essays on Lesbian Transgressors. Explores lesbian misbehaviour of many kinds: sleeping with men, murdering them, wanting to be a man, even violent behaviour towards other women. Other offences include narcissism; objectification; buying and selling sex; and the obsessive stalking of other women. In breaking many unspoken rules of the lesbian community, the courageous women whose lives are documented in this anthology demonstrate the need for lesbian and heterosexual society to be more understanding of difference and diversity. Examines the lesbian transgressor's role in society and challenges the assumption that every lesbian has an obligation to protect the respectability of the lesbian community in the eyes of the heterosexual world. It argues instead that lesbian transgression can break down a layer of restrictive and outdated rules for the whole of society. From cyberspace to separatism to spirituality, the women in this book have found positive and empowering ways to express themselves, their beliefs and identities and to resolve the conundrum of living outside the conventions of each and every community.

From Radclyffe Hall and Gertrude Stein to Rita Mae Brown, Jeanette Winterson and Adrienne Rich, writing on and by lesbians has formed a vital part of 20th-century literature and popular culture. Heavenly Love? is a fascinating survey of changing attitudes to women's sexuality, crucial to an understanding of sex and gender in today's AIDS-conscious world. Gabriele Griffin looks at a century of change from 'classics' like 'The Well of Loneliness' to the 'pulp' fiction and lesbian sci-fi on today's bookshelves. She argues that the politicisation of women in the 1960s and 70s enabled lesbians to move from twilight to limelight - both in society and in literature. The result is a profound insight into the way women write and construct their sexual identities in contemporary culture, and will be vital reading for anyone interested in modern literature, women's studies and gay theory.

	Gabriele, Ed,	Lesbianism and Popular Culture. The first collection of its kind to focus on representations of lesbianism in popular culture. In doing so, it registers the extraordinary diversity of lesbian culture production in the course of this century. Abandoning the cultural high ground, the eight essays in this volume provide an invigorating introduction to the complex relationship between lesbians as producers, consumers and subjects of popular culture - of music. Hollywood movies, popular romance, science fiction and the good old-fashioned crime novel. Commenting on texts such as Audre Lorde's Zami, Rita Mae Brown's Rubyfruit Jungle and Radcliffe Hall's Well of Loneliness, the various contributors consider the popularity and development of 'coming out' stories and the richness of lesbian personal narratives. They examine the extent to which popular genres have been appropriated and even subverted by lesbian writers - and readers. They debate the encoding of lesbian sexual desire on screen, and ask questions about the specificity of lesbian cinema. Above all, they celebrate the varieties of lesbian popular culture in a way that adds fresh new dimensions to the study of the mass media and culture in the twentieth century.

	Edmund,	Homosexuality in the British Armed Forces. Britain and the US stand alone within NATO as active discriminators against homosexuals in the Armed Forces. Recent reports have shown that more than 260 members of the British Armed Forces have been driven to leave their posts since 1990. Edmund Hall's first book is both a personal testimony, and a timely demand for changes in the law. The author served as a naval officer for two years before acknowledging his homosexuality and was sacked. It was his experience that inspired what is an intensely candid and disturbing account of the homophobia and hypocrisy that pervade the British military. Drawing from many first hand experiences - including the paranoia brought on by the Military Police's 'special investigations' - We Cant even March Straight is a compelling and human plea for change, at a time when the debate on the issue is reaching a climax.

	HALLETT.	LESBIAN LIVES.	Pluto	£8.00
	Nicky,	Identity and Auto/Biogrpahy in the Twentieth Century. How does the factual shape our sense of sexuality and self? How far have representations of lesbianiam actually moved from the pathology and deviancy of the 1920s and 1930s to the lesbian chic of the 1990s? How do contemporary ideas of autobiography intersect with a sense of sexualised self? And to what degree id the notion of a specific lesbian identity complicated by the contradictions of identity politics and the heterosexism of critical language? In this fascinating literary study, Nicky Hallett addresses these questions by examining cultural representations of lesbianism and the personal testimony of individuals, including Virginia Woolf, Alice B Toklas, Gertrude Stein, Vita Sackville-West and Radclyffe Hall, and other , less familiar, figures. She considers lesbian representation within the broader context of gender, sexuality, race and the construction of identity in a postmodern culture, and questions ideas od the coded, the indirect and the hidden of the 1920s and the 'out' of the queer 1990s. Building on the numerous studies of lesbianism in fiction and popular culture, Nicky Hallett explores the construction of lesbian identities in popular and critical biographies, autobiographies and diaries, as well as newspaper stories, interviews, obituaries, potographs and reviews. Lesbian Lives extends the boudaries of enquiry with an investigation into the ways in which lesbians represent themselves and are represented by others in the so-called factual modes of non-fiction.

	HAMER.	BRITANNIA'S GLORY.	Cassell	£6.95
	Emily,	A History of Twentieth-Century Lesbians. Lesbians have fought in wars and fought against war, and they have tended the casualties of war, as the lives of Toupie Lowther, Esther Roper, Louisa Martindale and their comrades show. Lesbians have fought the police and been arrested, from the suffragettes to Pat Arrowsmith. Yet Mary Allen and Isobel Goldingham were among the first policewomen. Lesbians have worked for the state in the civil service, the education system and the armed forces; and their sisters have worked to destroy the British Establishment. Lesbians have always been involoved in British feminism and they were the backbone of the suffragette movement from the constitution of Eleanor Rathbone to the radicalism of Esther Roper and the anarchism of Mary Allen. The politicization of lesbianism has not stopped with feminism; it is closely identified today with pacifism, the ecology movement, animal rights activism, vegetarianism and spirituality. The lesbians and feminists protesting against nuclear weapons at Greenham Common in the 1980s were inheritors of a long tradition. Through Myrtle Solomon, lesbian peace protestors of the 1980s had a direct link with those of the 1950s like Sybil Morrison, and through Morrison back to the ex-suffragist lesbian peace campaigners of the Great War, like Esther Roper. Tracing the lives of individual lesbians against the background of the politics and history of their period, and shows the infinite variety of ways in which lesbians made their lives in Britain during this century. This history has relevance to contemporary life and politics within the lesbian community. British lesbians have a long tradition of diversity, of action, of success and of pride, which is documented here in all its glory.

Once lesbian feminists transormed lesbianism from a stigmatised sexual practice into a political practice that posed a challenge to male supremacy and its basic institution of heterosexuality. They were heretics. Now lesbian feminists are on the offesnsive again... against a powerful new movement within the lesbian culture towards dominant/submissive roleplaying, towards turning the pain of lesbian oppression into the source of sexual pleasure. The lesbian feminists who oppose the adoption of such damaging patriarchal practices are once again deemed heretics. In this powerful, hard-hitting book Sheila Jeffreys charts and condemns the male supremacy and racist components found in the currently fashionable and commercially lucrative lesbian sexual scene, and argues for the rebuilding of a sexuality that is positive and egalitarian... and free from pressure to love the boot that will kick us into submission.

	Alkarim,	A History of Lesbian and Gay Britain in the 20th Century. At the beginning of the century the word 'homosexuality' was so rarely used that most people didn't even know the word existed. It's Not Unusual charts the experiences of gay men and lesbian since 1918, when homosexuality was an unspeakable sin, to the present, when it is just another form of sexual expression. The story is told through testimony of the men and women who lived through it all. What was it like to attend West End premieres in the Twenties with a monocled, cross-dressed Radclyffe Hall? What signs and signals lesbians and gay men used to recognise each other in the Thirties. How London became a 'vast double bed' during the blackout. Why camp humour defused tension among soldiers under fire during the Second World War. What it felt like to undergo 'treatment' at the hands of psychiatrists armed with injections and emetrics during the Fifties. How, in the Sixties, the long battle for law reform was fought and won. How gay men and lesbians partied through the Seventies, rallied together in Eighties and what issues concern the in the Nineties. A poignant account of the lives of lesbians and gay men since 1918; not only the events they lived through but also what they wore, the books they read, the music they listened to, the slang they used, the people they loved, the things that made them cry and the things that made them laugh.

One couple practices non-monogamy. How has each individual partner, and each partnership, dealt with the challenges and intimacy of sharing a life together? Learn the answers these women have discovered. As author SUsan E Johnson comments, "...this is a book about real lesbian in real couples in the real world".

	JOHNSTON.	ADMISSION ACCOMPLISHED:	Serpent's Tail	£6.75
	Jill,	The Lesbian Nation Years (1970-75). Jill Johnston has been acknowledged as one of the most vital, original thinkers of her time. As vangard feminist, she was at the forefront of a movement that changed the way we think about gender and sexuality. These essays, many of which appeared in her books Lesbian Nation and Gullibles Travels, break wit convention and tackle social issues as current today as when they were writter: coming out and "outing" pubic icons; gay marriage and monogamyy; solidarity and betrayal between gay men and lesbians, and between straight feminists and lesbians; the men's movement and misogyny. Johnston was the first writer to come out in the mass media, and the only one to sustain this kind of exposure over a revolutinary span of time.

Although sexism, racism and homophobia have tried to deny their existence, they have survived. Since the 1980s there has been a strong, vibrant, active and visible community spreading throughout Britain. In this challenging and provocative collection of essays, lesbians of African and Asian descent speak out about a wide range of issues affecting their lives, from popular culture, mental health and discrimination to Black lesbian sexuality. A major focus of Talking Black is the contribution which Black lesbians have made to both the Black and the lesbian and gay communities, through politics, fashion, music and the arts. Valerie-Mason John brings together a host of writers, including Linda Bellos, Maya Chowdhry and Dorothea Smartt, who celebrate and document this influence through insights into the lives and experiences of Black lesbians in the UK. Talking Black is the first anthology by Black lesbian writers in Britain. It discusses issues around representation of Black lesbian in both mainstream and independent lesbian culture, through an examination of film, photography and literature. It also explores the issues of Black lesbian coming out and ageing in Britain.	V Good / Mint 1995   £2.50 P&P (UK)   ISBN: 0-304-32965-7

It shows, ever so consistently, that lesbian daughters have more difficulty with their parents than do gay sons... Why did all these gay children tell their parnets? What were the circumstances that led them to this decision? How did they tell them - what words did they use? And how did those parents react - immediately, and months later. This book gives the fascinating answers to all those questions and many more. Because Parents Matter so much in all our lives, this book is essential reading for all lesbian daughters, gay sons and their families.	Good 1987  £2 P&P (UK)   ISBN: 0-930044-91-6

	O’CARROLL & COLLINS, Eds,	LESBIAN & GAY VISIONS OF IRELAND	Cassell	£4.50
	Ide & Eoin,	Towards the Twenty-first Century. Ireland is at a critical stage in its socio-political history, not least because of the encouraging prospect of an end to the war in the North, but also because of the improved position of lesbians and gays. The Republic's Law Reform Act of 1993 was the result of a campaing which established an age of consent equal with heterosexuals, and, by default, a recognition by the state of a lesbian presence in Ireland. More recently the inclusion of sexual orientation in the Unfair Dismissals Act guarantees rights for lesbian and gay workers. Abroad ILGO's fight to march in the St Patrick's Day Parade in New York City forced worldwide attention on a redefinition of Irishness, while at home, President Robinson welcomed lesbians and gays into the Arus for the first time. These events have resulted in a lively public discussion of lesbian and gay issues in Ireland. In this volume we present a range of voices of those who have been at the centre of the changes that have occured on their work, their involvement in the lesbian and gay community, and their envisioning of a future Ireland.

	O’SULLIVAN.	I USED TO BE NICE	Cassell	£4.50
	Sue,	Sexual Affairs. Collection of writing about being a Lesbian and a Feminist. Collection of writing charts a quarter century of feminist engagement: from her ambivalence towards motherhood and marriage in the 1960s and 70s to butch/femme and queer in the 1980s and 90s; from birth control and PMT to HIV/AIDS and eroticism. Teasing out the contradiuctory layers which make up lesbian chic, political correctedness and transexuality, O'Sullivan moves on to take sides in the continuing debates around pornography and censorship. 'I used to be nice' is a sentiment shared by many feminists who don't fit any of the tired old stereotypes, but for whom the experience of injustice, anger and joy, has provided the foundation for a different sort of feminist identity. Sue O'Sullivan's feisty and inclusive analysis of key ideas and events embraces diversity and holds on to intergrity. Reflective and astute, I used to be nice offers the reader convincing insights into the affairs and battles that have characterised twenty-five years of feminist and lesbian politics internationally.

Only recently, however, have motifs and modes of fiction with Gothic associations, such as the witch, the vampire, the spectral visitor and the Gothic thriller, been appropriated by writers adopting a lesbian viewpoint to articulate the transgressive aspect of lesbian sexuality and existence. Writers whose texts receive discussion in Lesbian Gothic include Rebecca Brown, Pat Califia, Emma Donoghue, Katherine V Forrest, Ellen Galford, Sarah Schulman, Mary Wings and Jeanette Winterson.

	Lisa,	An Oral History of the Gay Liberation front 1970-73. The Gay Liberation Front dragged homosexuality out of the closet, onto the streets and into the public eye. Its London suporters hald the first gay demonstrations, organised the first Pride March and ran the first public gay dances in Britain. The Front contained an alliance of lesbian, gay men, bisexuals and transsexuals long before 'queer' was fashionable, and challenged homophobia before we had a word for it. Their direct action and street theatre were the envy of the rest of the revolutionary counter-culture, their politics the most diverse, their communes the wildest and their arguments the loudest. In two short years, the Gay Liberation Front created the conditions for a lesbian and gay movement for generations to come and then imploded into fragments that became our newspapers, helplines and activist groups. Lisa Power has gethered the accounts of people who were there, the papers they wrote and the comments of bemused bystanders. She tells the previously unheard stories of the London Gay Liberation Front, of the sisters and brothers who created a brave and resourceful movement out of little but their own will and imagination and who gave us pride and anger and ideals.

	Sarah,	Lesbian and Gay life during the Reagan/Bush years. Combines critical commentary with a rich and varied collection of news articles, letters, interviews and reports in which the author traces the development of lesbian and gay politics in the US - from the inauguration of Ronald Reagan and the abortion rights movement to the founding of ACT-UP and the recent explosion on the scene of the Lesbian Avengers. Schulman also provides fascinating insights into lesbian and gay cultural developments. In her coverage of many tireless campaigns of activism and resistence, Sarah Schulman documents a powerful political history that most people - gay or straight - never knew happened. My American History is an absorbing journey through this remarkable writer's non-fiction and a unique chronicle of the debates that shaped the radical lesbian and gay movement in the 1980s and early 1990s.

	SHOWALTER.	SEXUAL ANARCHY.	Virago	£4.25
	Elaine,	Gender and Culture at the Fin de Siecle. 'Sexual anarchy' - dire predictions, disasters, apocalypse - became the hallmark of the closing decades of the nineteenth century. The New Woman and the Odd Woman threatened male identity and self-esteem; the emergence of feminism and homosexuality meant the redefining of masculinity and feminity. This is the terrain which Elaine Showalter explores with such consumate originality and wit. Looking at parallels between the ends of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and their representations in literature, art and film, she ranges over trial of Oscar Wilde, public furore over prostitution and syphilis, and in our own time, moral outrage over the breakdown of the family, abortion rights, AIDS. High and low culture - from male quest romances to contemporary male bonding movies (Heart of Darkness reworked into Apocalypse Now), Freud to Fatal Attraction - all are part of this scholarly and entertaining study of the fin de siecle.

	SMITH.	SEDUCED AND ABANDONED.	Cassell	£3.75
	Richard,	Essays on Gay Men and Popular Music. Examines the different ways that gay men use pop music, both as producers and consumers, and how, in turn, pop uses gay men. Richard Smith asks what role culture plays in shaping identity, and why pop cultures continue to thrill gay men even though it so often lets them down. These 40 essays and interviews look at how performers, from The Kinks' Ray Davies to Gene's Martin Rossiter, have used pop as a platform to explore and articulate, conform to or contest notions of sexuality and gender. Some of these pieces are love letters (Nirvana, Take That); others hate mail (Erasure, Happy Mondays). Some figures keep reappearing - Madonna, Morrissey, Pet Shop Boys, 'Ziggy Stardust' and Suede; as do certain themes - AIDS, 'ambisexuality', camp, 'homosexualness', unmanliness, why dance music means so much to gay men though rock often says more about their lives, and how we read the stars and our desire to 'know' them.

	SMYTH.	LESBIAN TALK: QUEER NOTIONS	Scarlett	£3.25
	Cherry,	What is this thing called queer? The 1990s has produced a new political radicalism within the lesbian and gay communities, with the emergence of activist groups such as Outrage, Act Up and Queer Nation, with their 'we're here, were queer, get used to it agendas. But what is this queer politics? Does the new defiance signal a meaningful shift in ideology, or is it merely the wishful thinking of a few white gay men? Are queer politics and feminism in any way compatible? What does queer mean for lesbians, and who is setting the agenda? Is queer a positive alliance or a watering down of lesbian strength? Is there a queer aesthetic? Cherry Smyth describes the development of the new politics and discusses its implications with an international group of activists and their critics.

	STEVENS	GIRLFRIEND NUMBER ONE	Cleis Press	£4.95
	Robin, Ed,	Lesbian Life in the 90’s. Red Dora's Bearded Lady Cafe in San Francisco is as close to home as Generation X lesbians get. This is where the postmodern meets the feminist, where Pop Tarts mingle with pesto eggs, and the cultural influences are as likely Charlies Angels and Joan Didion as Audre Lorde and Susie Bright. Red Dora's is also a performance space where writers and humourists of all genders have found enthusiastic audiences of like-minded girlfriends raised on feminism, television and bad music. These girlfriends are angry enough to change the world and smart enough to have fun in the meantime... Girlfriend Number One is a night out at Red Dora's, capturing that grrrl slacker world in stories, cartoons and graphics. Includes: Martha Baer, E G Chrichton, Marsha Gessen, Joan Hilty, Kris Kovick, Erika Lopez, Mabel Maney, Achy Obejas, Jessica Patton, Penny D Perkins, Elissa Perry, Carla Tomaso and Mary Wings.
