A half-century later, such masculinity equaled lesbianism in the public imagination. How did this shift occur? Citizen, Invert, Queer illustrates that the equation of female masculinity with female homosexuality is a relatively recent phenomenon, a result of changes in national and racial as well as sexual discourses in early twentieth-century public culture." "Incorporating cultural histories of prewar women's suffrage debates, British sexology, women's work on the home front during World War I, and discussions of interwar literary representations of female homosexuality, Deborah Cohler maps the emergence of lesbian representations in relation to the decline of empire and the rise of eugenics in England. Cohler integrates discussions of the histories of male and female same-sex erotics in her readings of New Woman, representations of male and female suffragists, wartime trials of pacifist novelists and seditious artists, and the interwar infamy of novels such as Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness and Virginia Woolf's Orlando."--BOOK JACKET. 606 $aLesbianism$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNationalism and feminism$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWar and society$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain 615 0$aLesbianism$xHistory 615 0$aNationalism and feminism$xHistory 615 0$aWar and society$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xSocial aspects 676 $a306.76/63094109041 700 $aCohler$b Deborah$01682708 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821857203321 996 $aCitizen, invert, queer$94053010 997 $aUNINA
