This article deepens our understanding of lesbian lives in interwar Prague. It focuses on two forgotten lesbian novels, Exiles of Love and The Third Sex, which were deliberately suppressed after 1948 by the Communist regime as examples of inferior bourgeois literature. The two authors, Lída Merlínová and Gill Sedláčková, both hailed from Prague's cultural world (theatre and film) and were active too in the 1930s Czech movement for homosexual reform. Spanning the late twenties to the late thirties, the novels reveal tantalising glimpses of the evolving sub-culture of interwar Prague. Merlínová's naïve novel of 1929, Exiles of Love, was the first Czech lesbian novel, and it betrayed the 1920s optimism of the 'Czech New Woman' who was prepared to challenge gender stereotypes. Sedláčková's novel, The Third Sex, is a more explicit study from 1937, reflecting the more mature sub-culture but also a cynicism about the chances of homosexual reform. Yet it manages, even more than Exiles, to convey an uplifting and moral message. Indeed, both novels are about lesbian self-knowledge, exploring the scope for same-sex survival in a world where the best solution may be abroad, not in 'provincial Prague'. In restoring these texts to lesbian literature we recover a range of voices, expressing the hopes and frustrations of some queer Czech women in an unusually liberal era.","PeriodicalId":46044,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lesbian Studies","volume":" ","pages":"164-191"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142356103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The artwork Victim I (1988/1989), which is the subject of an intertextual interpretation, is one of the few unique portraitures of female same-sex couples and eroticism in art from behind the Iron Curtain (1945-1989), created from the feminine perspective. Hence, it took a very prominent role in the major exhibition Gender Check. Femininity and Masculinity in the Art of Eastern Europe (2009), curated by Bojana Pejić. The exploration of female figuration and various dimensions of femininity is a recurrent theme in Izabella Gustowska's art of photographic and filmic portraiture and self-portraiture. In her search for multiple and complex images of femininity, she is one of the precursors of representations of female intimate relationships, togetherness, and homosociality in the Eastern bloc. The text intends to elucidate the political, religious, amorous, and artistic context of the Victim series in Poland and Central Eastern Europe, locating it in the cultural framework of the region and the nascent queer movement in Poland in the 1980s.","PeriodicalId":46044,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lesbian Studies","volume":" ","pages":"293-315"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144259019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The anti-social turn in queer theory advocates a turn away from procreation and frames the mother as the transmitter of a heteronormative legacy. In this way, queer theory naturalizes the association between the assigned female at birth body, womanhood, motherhood, and heterosexuality and precludes considerations of queer and feminist mothering. Autobiographical writing by queer mothers challenges this depiction of motherhood as inherently normative. In her poetry collection Crime Against Nature, the late Minnie Bruce Pratt describes losing custody of her children under a North Carolina sodomy law after coming out as a lesbian in 1975. Pratt's insistence on claiming her queer sexuality despite severe social sanctions refuses the characterization of the mother as heteronormative. I place Pratt in conversation with two later memoirs of queer motherhood, Cherríe Moraga's Waiting in the Wings: Portrait of a Queer Motherhood and Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts to consider Pratt's legacy to queer discourse. I read these narratives of queer feminist maternal subjectivities through the lens of the \"sodomitical mother\" to challenge the framing of the maternal body as always white, heterosexual, cisgender, sexually modest, and in service to the hegemonic social order. These accounts of queer feminist maternal subjectivities challenge current right-wing attacks on 2SLGBTQ+ rights that seek to \"protect\" children from access to education on race, gender, and sexuality in the name of a presumably white, heterosexual, and cisgender parent.","PeriodicalId":46044,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lesbian Studies","volume":" ","pages":"401-418"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145967177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This roundtable discussion covers the social, political, historical, and personal contexts in which Feminary developed. Participants detail the emotional, intellectual, and physical labor involved in journal production, alongside the collective's political goals and common themes in various journal issues. Reflecting on their lives after Feminary, participants comment on the journal's lasting impact on them individually, as well as its cultural interventions.

Two memoirs by queer Muslim women-We Have Always Been Here (2019) by Samra Habib and Hijab Butch Blues (2023) by Lamya H.-not only map their authors' journeys across geographical borders but also trace the realization, exploration, and assertion of their queer identities. By engaging with these two texts, this paper analyzes Samra and Lamya's journeys, as they try to exercise and make sense of their agency (or lack thereof) with respect to their cultural and geographical displacement. This analysis highlights how the position of queer Muslim women in the diaspora both enables and challenges queerness. In addition, this analysis underscores subjective approaches to reconciling religion with queerness and emphasizes the significance of such life narratives for fostering intersectional polylogues on sexuality, religion, and migration. Consequently, this paper contributes to the project of Queer Worldmaking by showing how queer Muslim women create communities, support networks, and exhibit resilience by challenging conventional hierarchies to develop viable life possibilities for themselves in Canada and the United States.","PeriodicalId":46044,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lesbian Studies","volume":" ","pages":"625-641"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144676029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This distinction is a commonplace feature of a spate of recent books and films produced and marketed to mainstream feminist audiences. This idea of sexuality as ontology is key to the resurgence of biological determinism that has defined LGBT political advocacy in the twenty-first century. This biological determinism, or what we might call, following Lady Gaga, the \"born this way\" discourse, has pushed feminist discourse into a fatalistic heteropessimism, or the idea that heterosexuality is irredeemable but that straight women are simply stuck with it. This, despite the reality that many women can and do refuse to become or to remain heterosexual. Such discourses, I argue, are profoundly anti-feminist because they obscure how heterosexuality works as a political system. Thus, under the guise of admiring lesbians' freedom from men, heteropessimist feminism paradoxically reinscribes heteropatriarchy's status as natural. Instead of accepting the limited gains that the \"born this way\" discourse has achieved, we must advocate for sexual freedom and autonomy built around the fundamental premise that our desires are contextual, not static, innate, and unchangeable.","PeriodicalId":46044,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lesbian Studies","volume":" ","pages":"128-142"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
