Who This Author Is

Susan Stewart writes with a clear, engaged voice about lesbian visibility and public space. Drawing the Line: Lesbian Sexual Politics on the Wall examines how murals, graffiti, and wall texts shape community boundaries and political claims, combining close reading of imagery with attention to streetscapes and activist practice.

Stewart’s approach links visual detail to social conflict: she traces how walls become sites of contest over desire, identity, and belonging. The book maps strategies of inscription and erasure, showing how messages carved into urban surfaces stage debate and make demands within everyday landscapes.
