Madonna has flirted with it, Martina Navratilova openly admits it and PBS makes costume dramas about it. Does this mean that mainstream society is welcoming lesbians with open arms? In this highly original collections 15 writers from the U.S., the U.K. and Australia focus on a wide range of cultural moments in film, TV, pop, books, magazines, and newspapers.
