Book Release – Feminism is Queer
Feminism is Queer is an introduction to the intimately related disciplines of gender and queer theory.

Whilst there have been significant conceptual tensions between second wave feminism and traditional lesbian and gay studies, queer theory offers a paradigm for understanding gender, sex and sexuality that avoids the conflict in order to develop solidarity among those interested in feminist theory and those interested in lesbian and gay rights.
