Marilyn R. Farwell is Associate Professor of English at the University of Oregon.

"Marilyn Farwell's thoughtful and highly readable text is the first to look at lesbian writing from the perspective of narrative theory, not content, social context, or critical theory. By positioning herself between essentialist lesbian feminism and anti-essentialist postmodernism, she provides a strong case for refusing simplistic oppositions and redrawing the lines of contemporary lesbian criticism. A provocative and enjoyable approach to lesbian literature." - Bonnie Zimmerman,San Diego State University
