Daring to Dissent: Lesbian Culture from Margin to Mainstream (Women on Women)

Rating:
Summary: Well-rounded lesbian media survey
Review: This collection of critical essays dealing with the portrayal of lesbians in movies, theatre and books is intelligent and quick-witted, with a nice balance of critical styles. Of special note is Mary Wings' rereading of the DuMaurier story, "Rebecca". My only complaint is that the book tends to be a bit Brit-centric in places, especially when in the sections on theatre and short film. Overall however, well worth the time to read, and a great addition to any student of the genre.
