Reader’s Guide to Lesbian and Gay Studies

The Reader’s Guide to Lesbian and Gay Studies surveys the field in some 470 entries on individuals (Adrienne Rich); arts and cultural studies (Dance); ethics, religion, and philosophical issues (Monastic Traditions); historical figures, periods, and ideas (Germany between World Wars); language, literature, and communication (British Drama); law and politics (Child Custody); medicine and biological sciences (Health and Illness); and psychology, social sciences, and education (Kinsey Studies). Among the numerous reference books in the area of gay-lesbian-queer studies, there is no other that is planned and structured as a critical and explanatory guide to the wide range of literature available on these topics.
