It highlights the cultural construction of gender and sexuality, examining the impact of societal norms on individual identities and experiences. Additionally, the anthology includes an extensive bibliographical essay, serving as a valuable resource for further exploration in the field.

These political, philosophical, and literary essays mark the first collection of theoretical writing from the acclaimed novelist and French feminist writer Monique Wittig.

The lesbians who have contributed to this book are theorists and activists who write as members of diverse lesbian cultures. Each lesbian has her ways of knowing, her voices, approaches, methodologies, languages. Each lesbian reflects, directly and indirectly, her relations to her own and to other ethnicities, races, social classes, physical abilities, ages, and nationalities. Each lesbian has distinctive perspectives on lesbian existence, friendships and sexualities, separatism and coalition building, theories of knowledge and ethics, language and writing. Lesbian Philosophies and Cultures is a hybrid site for discussion of, work on, and delight in this sometimes uneasy, sometimes painful, sometimes surprising and wonderful, lesbian pluralism. For this collection, some of the contributors have chosen to write in essay style, and some have chosen to write in fiction, autobiography, poetic prose and experimental forms.

Ein Meilenstein der lesbischen Literatur, Die Verschwörung der Balkis handelt von einem Krieg der Geschlechter, in dem Frauen „blutige, siegreiche Kämpfe mit Messern, Maschinengewehren und Raketenwerfern führen“. Darüber hinaus schließen sich ihnen sympathische Männer im Kampf an.

Back in print, this daring novel constitutes a rhapsodic hymn to women's bodies and women's relationships."That rare work in fiction . . . the art and the courage are of the highest level."—The Boston Globe
