Binding Transnational Lesbian‑Feminist Print Constellations: Exploring Feminist Print Cultures and Its Transnational Travels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A series of publishing interventions by lesbian-feminists document the transnational aspirations of the U.S. women’s liberation movement in the 1970s, 80, and 90s. The argument about how lesbian‑feminist publishers contributed to transnational feminist attentions unfolds in three parts. First, I examine how feminists built international publishing networks in the 1980s and 1990s. Second, I examine how three lesbian-feminist periodicals, Connexions, Sinister Wisdom, and Ikon, demonstrated commitments to transnational publishing and reading practices. Third, a constellation of five transnational texts published by independent lesbian-feminist publishers reveal the literacies imagined by feminist publishers and how lesbian‑feminist publishers worked to reshape American feminist imaginaries to be more transnational. In a final section, I speculate about how focusing on lesbian‑feminist publishing in the past might illuminate contemporary studies of publishing and inspire new publishing activists.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
