Safo. Obras completas
De los escombros de una vida que en realidad sólo es para nosotros una sombra, y de los fragmentos dispersos de una obra que apenas podemos entrever, la humanidad entera ha dado cuerpo y nombre a una leyenda: Safo, Safo de Lesbos. Pero una leyenda que se justifica y se hace realidad al comprobar que bastan esos fragmentos para llenarnos de asombro y de admiración. Así en una cuidada traducción directa del original griego, estas Obras completas reúnen todo lo que nos queda de Safo, la única y definitiva prueba de su existencia y de su genio. Una prueba viviente, incomparable.

Este libro es un hermoso homenaje de la Red Lésbica Cattrachas, en conmemoración del décimo aniversario de la desaparición física de Amanda Castro, una de las hondureñas más sobresalientes de la última década del siglo XX y la primera del siglo XXI. Poeta, escritora, académica, militante de la comunidad LGTBI y combatiente en múltiples trincheras, Amanda es de muchas formas el símbolo de esa otra Honduras que se resiste a la corrupción, a la dictadura, a la homofobia, a la misoginia; de esa Honduras que crea y construye, aun en un contexto de tiranía, corrupción y desesperanza.

La cuestión homosexual
La presente obra constituye una de las primeras aproximaciones materiales a lo que el autor denomina "la cuestión homosexual", en contraposición tajante a su consideración como "problema". El análisis enlaza la historia y naturaleza de la opresión específica de la homosexualidad con el carácter de la moral sexual, proponiendo la abolición de estatuto del macho y de la virilidad, hecho que comportaría un estremecimiento profundo de la familia y de toda la cultura burguesa.
Como apéndices se publican - por primera vez en castellano- los artículos de Bernstein y Herzen aparecidos en su momento en la Neue Zeit, los cuales pueden ser considerados como las primeras aportaciones de los clásicos del marxismo a "la cuestión homosexual".

La amante celeste
Si en milenios la mujer no ha aprendido a pensarse genéricamente, la lesbiana no se ha reconocido ni como género ni como historia. Este pensarse con los parámetros del patriarcado, es decir, ahistoricamente, ha hecho que el lesbianismo (la lesbiana) circulara por la historia ajena a ella, marginada por la sociedad y automarginada por su "no pensarse".
Pocos ensayos abordan el lesbianismo como entidad e identidad separada y absolutamente diferenciada de la homosexualidad masculina. En "La Amante Celeste" Rosanna Fiocchetto propone un análisis del lesbianismo desde lo histórico, desde la lesbiana ausente en un sistema social que pretende ahora redimirla. Queda claro a lo largo de "La Amante Celeste" que ninguna identidad sexual necesita ser "redimida" por el sistema ni por la historia. La única redención está en aprender a pensarse históricamente para proyectarse hacia un futuro de respeto y dignidad para todas las mujeres.

Cuentos lésbicos
Hace unos años, mi compañera encontró este volumen en la biblioteca del domicilio familiar, en la conservadora ciudad de Guadalajara, México. El hecho de que el libro no consigne autor, casa editorial, ni fecha y lugar de la edición es revelador de la actitud social hacia el lesbianismo. Al igual que este libro, que permaneció medio siglo escondido bajo un altero de títulos innocuos, forrados los lomos bajo el triple disfraz de cartón, papel y tela, la vida de las lesbianas en México transcurre en el ocultamiento de su identidad, en la clandestinidad y el renunciamiento. Víctima de una doble tradición opresora, la que hereda de los indígenas y la que le impone el proceso de colonización, la mujer en México se refugia, se esconde y vive puertas adentro.

El amor es bxh/2 una propuesta de análisis histórico-metodológica del movimiento lesbico y sus amores con los movimientos homosexual y feminista en América Latina
En esta propuesta de análisis de la historia del movimiento lésbico en América Latina se siguen las huellas de aquellas mujeres que asumieron hacer de su vida privada un motivo inspirador para defender su orgullo de ser lesbianas. En la búsqueda de un sendero propio caminaron junto a homosexuales y feministas. Entre amores y desamores lo femenino ha priorizado sobre lo masculino. Por ser todavía semiclandestino el movimiento lésbico ha existido bajo la sigma del feminismo. El espacio de lucha y la producción teórica feminista se descubren como atuendos estrechos. Sin demandas y reflexión propia, nos encontramos en el feminismo como en otro closet.

Lesbian adventure stories
An adventure is a heroic act, an achievement in the face of danger, an unusual and exciting expertence. In this sense all lesbians taking risks simply by the bold choice they lead make to be truly who they are in the face of society's disapproval.

When we set out collect these stories we threw the traditional, limiting concept of adventure to the four winds, and invited sudmissions that reflect the diversity of our daily lives our desires and our fantasies.

What is radical feminism? A whole book seems scarcely long enough to delimit radical feminism. It is hard to find one single definition that encompasses radical feminism, and lesbian feminism, which has stemmed from it. The purpose of this book is to try to clarify radical feminist theory (or theories) and lesbian feminist theory (or theories), to understand the assumptions behind them, and to discuss how compatible some of the ideas expressed in these theories are with one another.

Against sadomasochism
Not all sadomasochists identify themselves publicly, however. Thus, it is difficult to differentiate sadomasochists from others in the Castro or to hazard a guess at the prevalence of sadomasochism in San Francisco. Certainly not all gay men and even fewer lesbians practice sadomasochism, although the straight media have presented a contrary, sensationalist picture. But in my neighborhood, the visibility of these symbols and images is so normalized that sadomasochism not only appears to be beyond reproach but also omnipresent. What is sadomasochism? Why has it emerged as a concern of feminists and women's communities in recent years? Why does opposition to the practice of sadomasochism invoke allegations of censorship, civil liberties and First Amendment infringements, antieroticism and sexual repression? How is sadomasochism related to violence, pain and power? Against Sadomasochism: A Radical Feminist Analysis is an effort to pose and critically explore these questions.

Capitalist patriarchy and the case for socialist feminism
Fourteen provocative papers on the oppression of women in capitalist countries, coupled with three articles on the subordinate position of women in two communist countries (Cuba and China). These important, often path-breaking articles are arranged in five basic sections, the titles of which indicate the broad range of issues being considered: 'Introduction' Motherhood, reproduction, and male supremacy'; 'Socialist feminist historical analysis'; 'Patriarchy in revolutionary society"; "Socialist feminism in America.' The underlying thrust of the book is toward integrating the central ideas of radical feminist thought with those pivotal for Marxist or socialist class analysis.

Toward a Recognition of Androgyny
In this quietly provocative book, Carolyn G. Heilbrun opens our eyes to the ways in which the concept of androgyny- the realization of man in woman and woman in man-has run, like a hidden river, from its souree in pre-Hellenic myth through the literature of the Western world. The androgynous ideal shows itself to be a creative and civilizing force conducive to the survival of a truly human society.
Here brilliantly brought to light are long-unrecognized manifestations of this ideal: in the classic drama, with its celebration of the feminine impulse toward life; in the Gospels, as Jesus breaks with the paternalistic tradition; in the medieval ambiguities of the cult of Mary and the courts of love, in the Renaissance, with its developing view of a more autonomous human being, culminating in Shakespeare's androgynous vision.

Let me speak!
"The author is the courageous wife of a Bolivian tin miner. Social and economic deprivation drove her to pro-Marxist political action as a leader of a Housewives' Committee, dedicated to improving miners' and peasants conditions. This is a vivid account of her activities and brutal imprisonment, accompanied by her observations on the clergy, military, and upper-class abandonment of Bolivia's repressed poor... This is a remarkably articulate report with astute political commentary... an important social document from a usually silent group."
