Literary essays; Anthologies (non-poetry); Gender studies: women

For over fifty years, Joan Nestle has been chronicling lesbian and queer life boldly with guts, heart, and moral suasion. A Sturdy Yes of a People gathers Nestle'

s most influential writing into a single volume presenting her persistent involvement in liberation movements, LGBTQ histories, erotic writing, and archives that document gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer lives. Embedded in tales of lesbian desire are Nestle's concerns with the power of class and race in America to exile bodies.

A bold and original thinker, deeply connected with her communities, with an abiding willingness to reexamine and reimagine queer lives by integrating new ideas, challenges, and experiences, Nestle dazzles as a powerful thinker, writer, and theorist. This new collection features an introduction by scholar Carolyn D'

Cruz, a foreword by Yeva Johnson, and an afterword by Susie Bright. This new volume provides a vibrant context for contemporary readers to engage with Joan Nestle'

s historically significant and dynamic work.
