What are the meanings behind constructed lesbian identities?
This unique collection brings together writing, photography, artwork, and poetry about lesbian butch and femme gender. Femme/Butch: New Considerations of the Way We Want to Go distinguishes itself by celebrating a wide span of intellectual engagement, from reflection to traditional academic work, including both disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches.
In addition to more serious writing, lesbian comediennes offer their irreverent takes on femme/butch in this book. Their perspectives are almost never found in academic publications, but what Lea DeLaria, Vickie Shaw, Karen Williams, and other edgy comics have to say about femme/butch sexuality deserves to be heard. Youll also find that Femme/Butch is essential for the global perspective it brings to lesbian gender. With chapters focused on lesbians in Chinese cultures and on the emerging lesbian community in Bulgaria, this book explores the role of femme/butch identification in cultures without recognizable lesbian institutions.
Here are a few of the questions the contributors to Femme/Butch examine in this remarkable book:

- What role does popular culture play in helping us to theorize about lesbian gender?
- What are the relationships between history and femme/butch lesbian gender?
- Does lesbian identity development come in individual stages or is it more of a free-flowing process?
- How does social class relate to how we think about femme/butch race, ethnicity, and butch-femme?
- the similarities between stone-butch and transgender identitiesusing Leslie Feinbergs Stone Butch Blues as a reference point
- the erotically resignified roles of Mommy, Daddy, girl, and boy in butch-femme
- femme/butch issues of power, trust, love, and loss
- the female husbands of the 18th century and their wives
- the meanings of cross-dressing for lesbians
- the variety of lesbian-queer gendersbutch, femme, androgynous, and other

Femme/Butch: New Considerations of the Way We Want to Go
Femme/Butch: New Considerations of the Way We Want to Go has been co-published simultaneously as Journal of Lesbian Studies, Volume 6, Number 2 2002.
The Journal of Lesbian Studies Monographic Separates
Below is a list of separates, which in serials librarianship means a special issue simultaneously published as a special journal issue or double-issue and as a separate hardbound monograph. (This is a format which we also call a DocuSerial.)
Separates are published because specialized libraries or professionals may wish to purchase a specific thematic issue by itself in a format which can be separately cataloged and shelved, as opposed to purchasing the journal on an on-going basis. Faculty members may also more easily consider a separate for classroom adoption.
Separates are carefully classified separately with the major book jobbers so that the journal tie-in can be noted on new book order slips to avoid duplicate purchasing.
