This book is a collection of essays written during that time, generated as part of other, larger activist efforts going on at the time. Read together, the essays trace the progress of the conversations between different activist groups, and between the authors of the pieces, Lisa Duggan and Nan Hunter, creating a bridge between feminists, gay activists, those in politics, and those in the law.
Since the 1995 publication of Sex Wars, the political landscape has altered significantly. Yet the issues and essays--are still relevant today. This anniversary edition will contain a new chapter dealing with the changes in the law since the book's publication, including Lawrence v. Texas.
