Abstract

In this article, Susan Krieger reflects on how lesbian realities have figured in her published work over the years, although the word "lesbian" did not appear in the books' titles. Why the invisibility? What lessons are to be learned from exploring the frequent invisibility of lesbian subject matter? Krieger's discussion throws light on the challenges of writing and publishing from a lesbian perspective.
