Acknowledgments
My sincere thanks goes to the friends and colleagues who helped make this book. Above all, I am grateful to the authors whose work appears in this volume and whose commitment to the larger concept of "the project" often helped sustain my own. Thanks to Teresa de Lauretis, SDiane Bogus, and Emma Perez for their participation at a special session of the 1994 Modern Language Association Convention in San Diego, where many of the issues and debates that define this volume were rehearsed. Joan Catapano at Indiana University Press provided indispensable editorial guidance and expertise. Joan Nestle and the staff/friends of the Lesbian Herstory Archives in Brooklyn arranged for generous access to the collection, helped me track down sources, and engaged me in lively conversation during my visits. The College of Arts and Letters at Old Dominion University helped materially support this project with a grant to cover research and production-related expenses. Jill Dolan and Andrea Slane offered feedback and suggestions on various parts of the manuscript. Lastly, I am indebted to Janice Conard for her encouragement and companionship throughout the entire process of assembling this volume.
