The winner of the 1999 Ruth Benedict Book Award in Anthropology, editors and feminist anthropologists, Blackwood and Wieringa, envisioned this anthology as a long due corrective in the arena of cross-cultural, female, same-sex sexuality research. Lack of legitimacy, invisibility, inadequate research questions, androcentric bias, and "blindness," have long been concerns for many feminist scholars. However, the authors argue that along with research stigma, the heterosexism of feminist scholarship and phallocentric scholarship of male-homosexual research have perpetuated and maintained deeper erasures in lesbian and female same-sex research. Lesbian-feminist work in the United States since the 1980s, the authors maintain, has influenced their work, but has also "analytically separated the study of female sexuality from male sexuality" and "is a primary motivation behind this volume" (48).
