Description matérielle : Online-Ressource (VIII-213 p.)
Note(s) : Here, Bjorklund shows that Swedish literary discourses on lesbianism provocatively
contrast with a widely accepted view that attitudes toward homosexuality have gradually
become more tolerant. The lasting power of negative discourses upends the assumption
that Sweden's progressive laws reflect progressive attitudes toward homosexuality
; "Jenny Bjorklund traces the theme of lesbianism in Swedish literature in a beautifully
systematic way, covering the developments of the past seventy-five years. As the book
itself claims, there are many assumptions about Sweden regarding its progressiveness
on gender issues, and Bjorklund provides valuable political and historical contexts
in order to both correct and support some of these assumptions." - Susan Brantly,
