Getting Some Perspective: Lesbian Pragmatism Afterword Notes IndexReviews"""Because this book engages pragmatism and some versions of poststructuralism and queer theory together with textual readings, it is unlike other books on the market. I like the way Emery weaves together theoretical arguments and literary observations (the chapter on Norma Trist makes for particularly interesting reading). The book has much to offer the growing field of lesbian/gay/queer studies."" - Carolyn Allen, coeditor of Provoking Feminisms ""Kim Emery offers a possible resolution to the divide in lesbian studies that she elaborates in such detail."" - Deborah S.
