Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, early, popular and/or culture:

    Why is it so difficult to see the lesbian—even when she is there, quite plainly, in front of us? In part because she has been “ghosted”Mor made to seem invisible—by culture itself....

    Terry Castle, U.S. lesbian author. The Apparitional Lesbian, ch. 1 (1993)
