In the first book to analyze shifts in lesbian identity,
consciousness, and culture from the 1970s to the 1990s, Arlene
Stein contributes an important chapter to the study of the women's
movement and ...offers a revealing portrait of the exchange between a
radical generation of feminists and its successors. Tracing the
evolution of the lesbian movement from the bar scene to the growth
of alternative families, Stein illustrates how a generation of
women transformed the woman-centered ideals of feminism into a
culture and a lifestyle. Sex and Sensibility relates the
development of a "queer" sensibility in the 1990s to the foundation
laid by the gay rights and feminist movements a generation earlier.
Beginning with the stories of thirty women who came of age at the
climax of the 70s women's movement-many of whom defined lesbianism
as a form of resistance to dominant gender and sexual norms-Stein
explores the complex issues of identity that these women confronted
as they discovered who they were and defined themselves in relation
to their communities and to society at large. Sex and
Sensibility ends with interviews of ten younger women, members
of the post-feminist generation who have made it a fashion to
dismiss lesbian feminism as overly idealistic and reductive.
Enmeshed in Stein's compelling and personal narrative are
coming-out experiences, questions of separatism, work, desire,
children, and family. Stein considers the multiple identities of
women of color and the experiences of intermittent and "ex"
lesbians. Was the lesbian feminist experiment a success? What has
become of these ideas and the women who held them? In answering
these questions, Stein illustrates the lasting and profound effect
that the lesbian feminist movement had, and continues to have, on
contemporary women's definitions of sexual identity.
From Donald Trump in the U.S. to Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, Viktor
Orbán in Hungary, and Narendra Modi in India, right-wing populist
leaders have taken power in many parts of the world. While each
...country's populist movement is distinct, they are united by several
key features, including the presence of a boastful strongman leader
and the scapegoating of vulnerable populations, especially
immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ people, and women. The
Perils of Populism shows how a feminist lens can help diagnose
the factors behind the global rise of right-wing populism and teach
us how to resist the threat it presents to democracy. Featuring
interdisciplinary essays about politics in the United States, the
Middle East, Europe, and India from a variety of acclaimed
theorists and activists, the volume contributes to a rapidly
expanding literature on gender and the far right. Together, these
chapters offer a truly intersectional analysis of the problem,
addressing everything from how populism has thrived in a
"post-truth" era to the ways it appeals to working-class voters
looking for an alternative to neoliberalism. Yet the authors also
find reasons to be hopeful, as they showcase forms of grassroots
feminist activism that challenge right-wing populism by advocating
for racial and economic justice.
The rhetoric of “saving children” has long been central to the religious right playbook in the United States, especially in campaigns against abortion rights, gay/lesbian rights, and against ...comprehensive sex education. Today the guardians of the traditional family, increasingly globalized, have shifted their focus to protecting women and girls from so‐called “gender ideology.” These campaigns emerge in relation to a renewed authoritarian populism which seeks consent for deeply conservative policies by claiming to represent “the people” against the supposed threat posed by minority groups aligned with elites. In these campaigns, feminists and LGBT people are charged with conspiring with medical professionals and teachers to indoctrinate children and undermine fixed notions of gender and sexuality. Rather than see these campaigns as single‐issue attacks on feminists or LGBT people, we should understand them as attacks on democracy; an effective defense against them therefore requires us to promote a vision of inclusive democracy.

Auch nach Jahrzehnten von Aktivismus und Forschung gilt: Die (Geschlechter-)Verhältnisse im Feld des Politischen und auf der Ebene der kollektiven Weltdeutung sind nach wie vor von Ungleichheiten ...dominiert. Die Beitragenden zeigen auf, dass die feministische Kritik im Moment des Einwands bereits Möglichkeiten entfaltet, diese Verhältnisse neu zu denken. Ob im Widerspruch gegen die hegemoniale Zuweisung eines bestimmten Ortes, einer gesellschaftlichen Position oder einer vermeintlichen »Natur« - die feministische Kritik entwirft stets auch emanzipatorische Visionen eines solidarischen Zusammenlebens: Sie gibt der Welt eine neue Wirklichkeit.
It has been over 40 years since Gagnon and Simon's Sexual Conduct (1973) and Foucault's History of Sexuality (1978) first appeared, and 20 years since the founding of Sexualities. John Gagnon, ...William Simon, and Michel Foucault are now all gone. Same-sex intimacy, at least of the domesticated variety, is thoroughly out of the closet, and even legally sanctioned in much of the West. Misogyny has resurfaced with a vengeance; a serial sexual harasser now (2018) resides in the White House. It's been a long, strange trip, filled with great change and also stubborn continuities.
