The text introduces the concept of social lesbianism, which refers to the emergence of a public expression of lesbianism as a means of establishing a collective identity within the lesbian community. This public visibility brings attention to the issue and contributes to a greater awareness of lesbianism in society. Within the social lesbian movement, there are two distinct groups: those who fear change and adhere to traditional and social views, often described as \"sick but not sorry\"; and those who advocate for challenging these views in favor of a more public approach, often labeled as \"sorry, but we're not sick.\" Despite their varying relationships to the dominant sexual ideology, these social lesbians collectively pose a threat to the existing power structures in society. This critical examination challenges prevailing notions about lesbianism and highlights the intricate complexities of the contemporary lesbian experience. Appealing to students of sociology, gender studies, feminist theory, and sexuality studies, this book provides valuable insights into the multifaceted aspects of lesbianism and its impact on society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 570g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032330716\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"E M Ettorre","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104643805434,"sku":"9781032330716","price":117.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1662781200182_book.jpg?v=1663273676","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/lesbians-women-and-society-9781032330716","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
