Daring to Dissent: Lesbian Culture from Margin to MainstreamLiz Gibbs This collection of essays examines the full range of lesbian expression and representation in literature, theatre, radio, television, film and photography, reflecting the diversity of lesbian culture. The collection takes a broad-based approach, looking beyond traditional literary genres and focusing instead on those which relate more specifically to lesbians, such as crime writing, and the field of performing and visual arts. Original articles on television, art, theatre and newspaper journalism are presented. A combination of UK- and US-based writers, performers, producers, activists, theorists, journalists and critics have contributed to this contemporary analysis of lesbian culture. Contributors include Mary Wings, Rose Collis, Barbara Wilson and Veronica Groocock. |
