Read together, the essays trace the progress of the conversations between different activist groups, and between the authors of the pieces, Lisa Duggan and Nan Hunter, creating a bridge between feminists, gay activists, those in politics, and those in the law.

Alternatively transfixed and repelled by this sexual scandal, confusion still reigns over its meanings and implications.
