Lesbian Death by Mairead Sullivan explores the perception that lesbian status is in retreat, examining the political promises and failures of lesbian feminism and its usefulness today. It argues that lesbian offers disruptive potential and examines the rise of lesbian breast cancer activism, the lesbian separatist manifestos, and the weaponization of lesbian identity against trans lives.

The loss of lesbian spaces and the notion of the lesbian as an outdated concept have raised concerns about the position of lesbian identity in our contemporary culture. In her book, Lesbian Death, Mairead Sullivan delves into the perception that lesbian status is declining, examining the political promises and shortcomings of lesbian feminism and its relevance in today's world.
Lesbian Death explores how lesbian is conceptualized in relation to death from the 1970s onward, arguing that it holds disruptive potential. The book examines the rise of lesbian breast cancer activism in San Francisco in conversation with ACT UP, the lesbian separatist manifestos "The C.L.I.T. Papers," the enduring specter of lesbian bed death, and the weaponization of lesbian identity against trans lives.
By positioning the lesbian as a border figure between feminist and queer, Lesbian Death offers a fresh perspective on the value of lesbian for both feminist and queer projects, even if her value lies in her death.
