How can being closeted or out affect the personal and professional life of a lesbian in academia? This volume, a collection of over thirty personal narratives, explores what it's like to be a lesbian working in a college or university setting. Along with the stories are in-depth analyses of the narratives by other academics. Issues such as race, class and age and how these factors distinguish each individual's place in the academy are examined. The contributors have written from a wide range of experiences--different degrees of outness, various academic disciplines, many geographic locations, and several types of academic settings.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This work follows a popular publishing trend: giving professional lesbians and gay men space to tell their stories about how sexual orientation and the workplace intersect. Mintz and Rothblum's book gives voice to a vibrant, fascinating faculty of various ages, races, and backgrounds who are all lesbian. These women share their compelling stories, bringing to light experiences ranging from the very closeted to those who have been "out" in their jobs since their interviews. Unlike similar books, which tend simply to present the stories at face value, these editors sought out scholars from several disciplines including literature and queer theory to analyze the narratives. Recommended for academic libraries, as well as for large lesbian and gay collections in public libraries.?Jerilyn Veldof, Univ. of Arizona Lib., Tucson

"It's a book that should be read by all lesbians entering academia. Most of the narratives are positive, and many suggest that being out need not be a disadvantage in terms of tenure or promotion." -- The Lesbian Review ofBooks
