Maureen Seaton traces the emergence of her identity in quick, droll, often surprising sketches. She finds herself alternately in the company of winos, swingers, and drag kings; in love with Jesus H. Christ and a butch named Mars; in charge of two children (her own!); writing stories that shrink painfully to poems; and unable to reckon how she landed in any of these predicaments. In her passage from near-nun to suburban mom to woke woman, she shakes herself out of a sloshed stupor and delights in the spree.

"In Queer Activism in India, Naisargi Dave examines the formation of lesbian communities in India from the 1980s to the early 2000s. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted with activist organizations in Delhi, a body of letters written by lesbian women, and research with lesbian communities and queer activist groups across the country, Dave studies the everyday practices that constitute queer activism in India. Dave argues that activism is an ethical practice comprised of critique, invention, and relational practice. Her analysis investigates the relationship between the ethics of activism and the existing social norms and conditions from which activism emerges. Through her study of different networks and institutions, Dave documents how activism oscillates between the potential for new social arrangements and the questions that arise once the activists' goals have been accomplished. Dave's book addresses a relevant and timely phenomenon and makes an important contribution to the anthropology of queer communities, social movements, affect, and ethics." --

"Qu'est-ce qu'être lesbienne en France aujourd'hui ? Dix ans après l'adoption du mariage pour tous et toutes, la photographe Marie Docher est allée à la rencontre de lesbiennes de toute génération, de tout profil sociologique ; certaines sont célibataires, d'autres en couple, d'autres encore ont eu des enfants. Elle a réalisé des portraits et recueilli le récit intime de chacune : autant de fragments d'un discours amoureux hors des normes hétéros. Un livre documentaire qui propose une représentation inédite des lesbiennes et offre une plongée dans la culture queer." --

How do lesbians decide to become mothers or remain childfree? Why do new families form at particular historical moments? These questions are at the heart of Nancy J. Mezey’s New Choices, New Families. Researchers, politicians, and society at large continue to debate the changing American family, especially nontraditional families that emerge from divorce, remarriage, grandparents-as-parents, and adoption. This ongoing discussion also engages the controversy surrounding the parental rights of same-sex couples and their families. New Choices, New Families enters into this conversation. Mezey asks why lesbians are forming families at this particular historical moment and wonders how race, class, sexual identity, and family history factor into the decision-making process. Drawing heavily from personal interviews, Mezey’s groundbreaking analysis gives voice to groups long underrepresented in similar studies—black, Latina, working class, and childfree lesbians. Some chapters examine how childhood experiences contribute to the desire to become a mother, while others consider the influence of women’s partners and careers. New Choices, New Families provides thoughtful insights into questions about sexual identity, social and cultural expectations, and what and who constitute a family.

Within a society that long considered "lesbian motherhood" a contradiction in terms, what were the experiences of lesbian mothers at the end of the twentieth century? In this illuminating book, lesbian mothers tell their stories of how they became mothers; how they see their relationships with their children, relatives, lovers, and friends and with their children's fathers and sperm donors; how they manage child-care arrangements and financial difficulties; and how they deal with threats to custody. Ellen Lewin's unprecedented research on lesbian mothers in the San Francisco area captured a vivid portrait of the moment before gay and lesbian parenting moved into the mainstream of U.S. culture. Drawing on interviews with 135 women, Lewin provided her readers with a new understanding of the attitudes of individual women, the choices they made, and the texture of their daily lives.

Panthère Première est une revue indépendante de critique sociale lancée en 2017 et dont le titre se fait l'écho de la langue vulgaire dont parle Dante, une langue parlée, locale, vernaculaire, qui échappe aux tentatives de fixation. Panthère Première publie des textes (enquêtes, réflexions, récits, poésie) et des images qui interrogent l’existence d’une « sphère privée » et d’une « sphère publique », partant du principe que les phénomènes politiques sont traversants et qu’ils ne s’arrêtent donc pas aux portes d’une catégorie. Les enquêtes et papiers publiés dans Panthère Première se situent donc à l’intersection entre ce qui est renvoyé à l’intime (famille, enfance, habitat, corps, maladie, sexualités…) et les phénomènes qui cherchent à faire système (État, industrie, travail, colonialisme, rapports de genre…). Les articles publiés dans la version papier sont progressivement republiés sur le site de la revue.
