The Mirror Dance in Retrospect

S. Krieger

In this article, Susan Krieger reflects on lessons learned from her classic study of a lesbian community, The Mirror Dance, first published in 1983. Krieger's study was unusual in that it eschewed a traditional social scientist's narrative voice, and instead was written from the point of view of the multiple voices of community members. In this retrospective piece, Krieger again challenges us to think in "multiple voices" about the importance of lesbian communities.[Copies are available from: Haworth Document Delivery Center.
