This book centres lesbian lives and perspectives to provide novel understandings of LGBTQ+ research, culture, and society, showing that understandings of these issues are often distorted by an androcentric approach to knowledge production. In addition to providing fresh empirical insight into the politics of LGBTQ+ spaces, the book also provides a commentary on the limiting consequences of not adequately incorporating womens experiences into research and provides new insights into the shaping of (in)visibility and belonging in LGBTQ+ social spaces.
