Amazon Expedition: A Lesbian Feminist Anthology

Amazon Expedition: A Lesbian Feminist Anthology

Bertha Harris
3.5/5 ( ratings)
"Before the 1970s, lesbians could publish their writing in nonspecific collective volumes, but not until 1973, with the publication of Amazon Expedition: A Lesbian Feminist Anthology, edited by Phyllis Birkby, was the lesbian anthology in its own right born." — Encyclopedia of Lesbian and Gay Histories and Cultures, George Haggerty & Bonnie Zimmerman

"When lesbians within the gay liberation movement synthesized gay politics with feminism, they started a separate political/cultural development which thousands of women began to identify with. This is what this anthology is about. Culture, herstory, politics, celebration, Lesbianfeminism — one concept: the new womanity." — publisher.

• "The Parable of Mothers and Daughters" and "The Sexual Abuse of Children: A Feminist Point of View" by Florence Rush
• "Lesbianism and Feminism" by Ti-Grace Atkinson
• "The New Misandry" by Joanna Russ
• "Emily Dickinson Feminist" by Rebecca Patterson
• "High School Crack-up" by Esther Newton
