Abstract

The commentators in this reappraisal describe The Social Construction of Lesbianism (1987) as 'classic' (Coyle), 'exciting' (Tiefer), 'important', (MacBride-Stewart), 'fascinating' (Snelling), a 'remarkable achievement' (Snelling), and an 'engagingly written, political tour de force' (Coyle). Like some of the commentators (Coyle, Snelling), one of us (VC) owns a well-read copy of The Social Construction of Lesbianism, highlighted in all the colours of the rainbow and covered in (now) rather cryptic notes. This was the copy that passed back and forth between us as we completed our PhDs in lesbian and gay psychology, both of which were supervised by Celia Kitzinger. As young lesbian feminists, we were drawn to Celia?s radicalism and uncompromising political commitment. She was an inspiring, challenging, passionate and energetic PhD supervisor, and we are honoured and privileged to edit this reappraisal of The Social Construction of Lesbianism, a book based on her PhD.
