Description: Like Ellis, I think the word "lesbian" still has an important place in our vocabulary for the study of sexual behaviors among women, though I agree with Nan Alamilla Boyd that it may be most useful to see "lesbian" as a historical artifact created at a particular period and used only intermittently as a self-defining noun.3 While a good deal of ink has been spilled over the correct vocabulary for women-lovingwomen in the past, the word lesbian has several political advantages: it asserts the fact of sex and it provides boundaries to a subject that at times seems in danger of disappearing into such overbroad categories as "queer" or "nonnormative." [...]lesbian history is a powerful example of history written for compelling moral reasons.
