This is my sandbox I am new editor to Wikipedia and still finding my way. I think my interest it this course might be how women leaders express their femininity in their workplaces. I am also interested how hetero-normative society we live affects queer femininity. My username refers to the movie Monty Python.

Women's and Gender Studies

Women's studies

Gender studies

Pages I am interested in:

Lesbian literature

Gay literature

Queer studies

Media portrayal of lesbianism

While this article contains some good information, the overview section on lesbian literature does not contain enough sources to back up what the writer is saying. At least for the paragraph about the limited availability of lesbian lit outside of tiny lesbian publishers, I found an article that can back up the statements. Here's the citation if anyone is interested in checking the article out before I add it to the article: ^[1]. If any other editors have another thoughts on this, please let me know.

Draft for queer studies page copy edit:

I agree that there needs to be a further distinction on the difference between queer studies and queer theory, but one simple, quick solution would be to clarify the sentence. Here's the sentence I'm talking about:

"Queer studies is not the same as queer theory, an analytical viewpoint within queer studies (centered on literary studies and philosophy) that challenges the putatively "socially constructed" categories of sexual identity.^[2]"

I think it would be beneficial for clarity if I added a "which is" after "queer theory". It makes the sentence easier to read, especially for people who don't actually understand the difference between the two. Let me know if anyone has any further ideas!

Draft for queer studies citation:

This page is flagged as not having enough information on queer studies around the world. Here's one article that describes a course on homosexuality in a Chinese university and I think this will add diversity to the article.^[2]
