In: Feminism & psychology: an international journal, Band 6, Heft 1, S. 31-41

Abstract

This article asks whether it is presumptuous for afeminist writer to create characters quite different from herself. Using the particular example of heterosexual novelists' representations of lesbians, it argues that such presumption-although fraught with difficulties-is essential to feminist truth-telling.
