Different enclosures

Klepfisz, Irena

Fiction: short stories - This is a collection of nine short stories "from a lesbian feminist perspective." Written in the late seventies and early eighties, some of the stories carry an imprint of the fears and politics of that time, making them seem a little out of date. Others are surprisingly apropos. The writing is strong and of good quality.

The Safe Sea of Women: Lesbian Fiction 1969-89

Bonnie Zimmerman

Women today are being instructed on how they can raise their self-esteem, love their inner child, survive their toxic families, overcome codependency, and experience a revolution from within. By holding up the ideal of a pure and happy inner core, psychotherapists refuse to acknowledge that a certain degree of unhappiness or dissatisfaction is a routine part of life and not necessarily a cause for therapy. Lesbians specifically are now guided to define themselves according to their frailties, inadequacies, and insecurities. 
An incisive critique of contemporary feminist psychology and therapy, "Changing our Minds" argues not just that the current practice of psychology is flawed, but that the whole idea of psychology runs counter to many tenets of lesbian feminist politics. Recognizing that many lesbians do feel unhappy and experience a range of problems that detract from their well-being, "Changing Our Minds" makes positive, prescriptive suggestions for non-psychological ways of understanding and dealing with emotional distress. 
Written in a lively and engaging style, "Changing our Minds" is required reading for anyone who has ever been in therapy or is close to someone who has, and for lesbians, feminists, psychologists, psychotherapists, students of psychology and women's studies, and anyone with an interest in the development of lesbian feminist theory, ethics, and practice.
