Lesbian Feminist Killjoys

“Wendy Mallette usefully says out loud many of the quiet parts of messy feminist conversations filled with bad objects, wounded attachments, cross purposes, and conflicting agendas, within internally contradictory movements and divided communities, in this important contribution to studies of queer religion and the ‘new lesbian history.’” - Susan Stryker, author of Changing Gender

“Wendy Mallette’s Lesbian Feminist Killjoys gives us a more complex, more robust set of voices, contexts, historical moments, and texts for what might count as “queer negativity” and its consequences, contributions, and promise. It makes clear that we have only begun to grapple with lesbian feminism’s profound, pertinent insights.” - Kent Brintnall, co-editor of Lee Edelman and the Queer Study of Religion

“A great book for anyone who wants to engage with the messiness of history, or connect desire and politics, or be open to the wisdom of graffiti, or give up redemption in favor of relation. Wendy Mallette doesn’t offer answers, but she does incite new ways of thinking, acting, and, indeed, living.” - Janet R. Jakobsen, author of The Sex Obsession

Wendy Mallette is Assistant Professor of Contemporary American Christianities in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Oklahoma.
