The author argues that a woman is a social, political, and ideological person who can escape heteronormativity and presents the figure of the lesbian as a runaway slave from the exclusive heterosexual system, since she does not need the other term of the binary opposition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeterosexual thought is a classic work of feminist thought: a precursor of queer theory, it remains essential today for deepening gender studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ediciones Paidós","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57188909515096,"sku":"9788449341922","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9788449341922.jpg?v=1777240801","url":"https:\/\/www.plasticbooks.uk\/en\/products\/el-pensamiento-heterosexual-y-otros-ensayos-contextos","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
