Feminism, the Family, and the Politics of the Closet is about placing sexual orientation politics within feminist theorizing. It is also about defining the central political issues confronting lesbians and gay men. The book brings the study of lesbians from the margins of feminist theory to the center by critiquing the analytic frameworks employed within feminist theory that renders invisible lesbians' difference from heterosexual women. This book also outlines the basic features of lesbian and gay subordination by exploring the differences between heterosexual dominance and gender and race relations. Throughout, Calhoun aims to re-center lesbian and gay politics away from concerns with sexual regulations and toward concern with the displacement of gays and lesbians from the public sphere of visible citizenship and from the private sphere of romance, marriage, and family.

The notion of lesbian teachers inevitably contradicts mainstream assumptions about female teachers women whose image stereotypically corresponds with and implicitly conveys traditional female virtues of purity, dedication, and nurturance. Using an analysis that combines feminist concepts of patriarchy with Gramsci s notion of hegemony, this book is an institutional ethnography which begins from the standpoint of lesbian teachers,
