- Description
- Sociological analysis of lesbians' use of the medical fertility treatments. The author argues that reproduction has become a medicalized process for lesbians, who are transformed into fertility patients because of their sexual identities. She argues that this medicalization shapes queer subjectivities in both productive and troubling ways, destabilizing the assumed link between heterosexuality and parenthood while also reinforcing traditional ideals about motherhood and the imperative to reproduce. She explores questions about the legal rights of co-parents, concerns about the genetic risks of choosing an anonymous sperm donor, and the ways decisions to become parents affect sexual and political identities.

- Description
- The author traces thirty years of public debate to examine how and to what extend the phrase 'lesbian mother' has been used in the mass media, the US legal system and recent scholarschip in feminist psychology. Looking closely at the period 1970 - 2000 she examines mainstream newspapers and alternative publications. In legal cases she analyses how courts have interpreted 'the best interest of the child'. To explore the academic response to lesbian motherhood Thompson looks at different theoretical models and psychological studies.

- Description
- Splashed against the tumultuous Clinton years and framed by the clash between gay political might and anti-gay activism, All the Rage presents the first authoritative guide to the new gay visibility. From the public outing of Ellen DeGeneres to the vicious murder of Matthew Shepard, gay lives and images have moved onto the center stage of American public life. Lesbians and gay men are indeed everywhere, from television sitcoms to Budweiser ads, from the White House to the Magic Kingdom. Combining personal stories with incisive analysis, Suzanna Danuta Walters chronicles this historic moment in our culture, arguing that we live in a time when gays and lesbians are seen, but not necessarily known .
