Overview

This book presents a broad panorama of the ideological positions, strategies, and political affiliations of queer and lesbian feminists. It is not designed to meet the minimum requirement of representation for the 'masculine' lesbian and queer feminism from the Spanish state (such a thing does not exist), but rather should be understood as a demonstration of the diversity and plurality of a feminism which is inclusive of its opponents. In this sense, the book is an act, a proof of the intense life of the queer and lesbian feminists here and now, without being compared to any other geographic reality nor to any other time. The text is also polyphonic; those who wanted to and were able to were allowed to participate in its creation. It is all that is, but it is not all there is, to be above the person who characterizes the queer. The ideological, political, and generational heteronormativity included in the text is proof of the heteronormativity of our militancies and highlights the critical number of independent and disparate writings we have compiled. Quantity and diversity achieve, however, one of the objectives which has moved the editors to compile this work: to construct a space in which to encounter both theory and activism and the life experiences which have resulted from their practice. The collection creates an estimable mosaic of issues, interests, concerns, and opinions on the subject to present to those who anticipate the title.
