Abstract
The battle over lesbian sexuality and identity in feminism's second wave was one of its most crippling struggles. This essay discusses this battle by focusing on the rhetorics of radical/lesbian feminism between 1970 and 1975, contextualizing them within movement struggles over public identity, revolutionary vision, and media politics. Calling attention to the ways radical/lesbian feminists' woman-identified rhetoric engaged in strategies of containment, this essay describes a domestication of woman and radical/lesbian feminism itself.
