Synopsis

Both a personal pleasure and an historical resource, this wide-ranging collection traces the teasingly elusive figure of the lesbian down the centuries from the ancient world to today. Lesbians appear in fact - trial transcripts and epitaphs, medical pamphlets, and case histories; and in fiction - through fables and songs, poems and stories, by both men and women (Sappho and Swindburne, Emma Donoghue and Charles Dickens). From a kaleidoscopic array of astrological curiosities, marriage resisters, female husbands, bluestockings, runaways, pioneers and menaces, not to mention revolutionaries, gardeners and neglected murderesses, the phenomenon we know as the lesbian begins to emerge

Media Reviews
Mats Alvesson is masterful in showing us how to create new theories from grounded empirical materials. I highly recommend this book as a guide and reference on theory building Andrew H. Van de VenVernon H. Heath Professor of Organizational Innovation and Change, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota Thank you Mats Alvesson for an altogether engaging, sophisticated, and inspiring account of the research process and its significance. With the emergence of a social constructionist view of science, questions concerning the function of research and theory have been paramount. In this highly readable volume, we are rewarded with a rich and practically useful resolution to these problems. This is no small undertaking, and I recommend the work with enthusiasm to both seasoned academics and beginning students Professor Kenneth J. GergenSwarthmore College, US
