Description
A Fragile Union is the long-awaited collection from feminist historian Joan Nestle. Nestle explores the “fragile unions” of contemporary lesbian life, both personal and historic.
Description
"A Fragile Union is Joan Nestle's collection of intimate essays and narratives about lesbian sexuality, butch-femme relationships, sex writing, the importance of preserving the history of pre-Stonewall gays and lesbians, the love that is possible between lesbians and gay men, and the often shaky camaraderie among lesbians as that community continues to flex its diversity. Readers of A Restricted Country and other Nestle writings are familiar with the author's themes of unity and difference. In A Fragile Union, she delves still deeper. Living with cancer, facing death, Nestle now explores other "fragile unions": the fragility of her sexual desire in the face of her illness, the fragility of memory in the face of enormous loss and fear, her belief in the possibility of hope, her love for her people - women, lesbians and gays, the working class, Jews, and all who struggle against injustice."--Pub. desc.
