Product Description
Lesbian feminism is a cultural movement and critical perspective, most popular in the 1970s and early 1980s primarily in North America and Western Europe, that questions the position of lesbians and women in society. Some key thinkers and activists are Charlotte Bunch, Rita Mae Brown, Adrienne Rich, Audre Lorde, Marilyn Frye, Mary Daly, Sheila Jeffreys and Monique Wittig although the latter is more commonly associated with the emergence of queer theory. Historically lesbianism has been closely associated with feminism, going back at least to the 1890s. "Lesbian feminism" is a related movement that came together in the early 1970s out of dissatisfaction with second-wave feminism and the gay liberation movement. ... Read more

Excerpt: Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 July 27, 1946) was an American writer who spent most of her life in France, and who became a catalyst in the development of modern art and literature. Her life was marked by two primary relationships, the first with her brother Leo Stein, from 1874-1914, and the second with her partner Alice B. Toklas, from 1907 until Stein's death in 1946. Stein shared her salon at 27 rue de Fleurus, Paris, first with Leo and then with Alice. Throughout her lifetime, Stein also cultivated significant relationships with well-known members of the avant garde artistic and literary world. Stein was gregarious and had a wealth of friends and modern paintings that attracted many to her Paris salon. Her personality also allowed her to transform her social outlets, by focusing on new friendships, members of the youthful generation of the time. For example, Stein was friends with "up and coming" artists Matisse and Picasso in the early 1900s, writers Thornton Wilder and Ernest Hemingway in the 20s, and with the American GIs in the 40s. Each period marked Stein's connections with young, and artistic people at the center of contemporary developments and events. Her writing reflects, or in the case of The Autobiography, reflects on each decade. Gertrude Stein's birthplace and childhood home in Allegheny WestGertrude Stein, the youngest of a family of five children, was born in 1874 in Allegheny, Penn...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=62004 ...
