Book Overview

This book is a collection of essays written during the 1980s and 1990s, generated as parts of other, larger activist efforts going on at the time.

Represent, Feminist Lesbian Academics!

Professor Duggan taught a gay studies course that I took at Brown University and she was so awesome. I read this book about two years after taking that class. I think the times that cultural studies scholars and legal scholars get together are pretty rare, so this is an excellent example of collaborative potential. This book asks and answers many questions. For example, why did most feminist historians not join anti-porn movements? The discussion on the Supreme Court's "Bowers" decision may seem dated in light of "Romer" and "Lawrence," but at the time it was pretty eye-opening. I think I may have cited it for a sociology paper. Duggan takes a swipe at Joan Scott that makes me wonder how progressive academics gossiped about it. This is a wonderful collection by two tremendous scholars and I highly recommend that many critically-conscious people peep it.
