So much of lesbian lives and culture is unknown in academia. Basic texts have yet to be written chronicling lesbian history and social evolution. We seek proposals for these fundamental works, as well as for more specialized or theoretical projects. The series is interdisciplinary, covering the humanities and social sciences.
The emphasis on lesbian history does not mean simply the reporting of lesbian lives, nor does it limit studies to the work of historians alone. Rather, "history" means "context," and in this sense studies dealing with art and literature, including those addressing issues of representation, are appropriate for this series provi=3Ded the analyses are historically, socially, and culturally contextualized.
The series editor invites manuscripts and proposals for studies, textbooks, and anthologies of new articles. Works by and about lesbians of color are especially welcome. Please direct inquiries and submissions to:
