Siting Lesbians:
Urban Spaces and Sexuality
From: In a Queer Country
$0.54
In "Siting Lesbians: Urban Spaces and Sexuality," Catherine Nash discusses the complement to Ingram’s study. He considers gay males seeking pleasure in the wide outdoors while Nash looks at lesbian daily life in the city. Her methodology is quite traditional sociological research, an assessment of the experience of various women who use businesses and resources that range from undefined to specifically lesbian. The approach might be traditional but the result has polemical potential. Nash suggests that lesbians seem to require specifically lesbian spaces for city living and that the configurations of those spaces are very different from the common gay ghetto, usually defined by gay male needs.
