Samenvatting
Women’s samesex relations have been the
topic of individual studies and some anthologies
but they have as yet not been systematically
studied. In this inaugural the focus
is on institutionalised women’s samesex
relations, such as the Chinese anti-marriage
sisterhoods, the African women marriages
and urban b/f communities. How come that
in some societies women whose relationships
are usually abjected can become centre
stage? What are the cultural epistemes that
make such relations understood?
