A roundtable on lesbian generations
The following written dialogue began as an intergenerational conversation, hosted by the lesbian feminist literary journal Sinister Wisdom , about Mairead Sullivan's book Lesbian Death: Desire and Danger between Feminist and Queer , and continued over a series of Zoom conversations in the spring of 2024. We discuss what the term lesbian means to us, teaching and intergenerational encounters, lesbian feminism in the archives, and lineages of lesbian in the present.
