    1. One or the other or both might be successful on the good nights, and if it was a really good night, then both would be. Good nights, that is, really good nights, were by no means as rare 'as hen's teeth, nor were they as frequent as streetcars, but they knew very well, both of them, that they did better together than they had done separately in the past. They set off something warm and good in each other that

    1. After Thelma's death, Behrens ,wrote grief-stricken letters to Barnes, whom she probably never met. In one letter, she asked for an interpretation of Thelma's confession that she, Thelma, would have been a great artist if she had not done "one thing." What that offense, againsuhe muses was, Barnes didn't know, or wouldn't say.

    2. n the chapter called "Night Watch," the two women meet at a . circus, where a lioness seems to recognize Robin as a kindred spirit: "~he turned her furious great head with its yellow eyes afire and went down, her paws thrust through the bars and, as she regarded the girl, " as if a river were falling behind impassable heat" (N 54). There begins the love affair that is Nightwood's chief interest. Robin soon wanders, • from cafe to cafe, drinking heavily. In "The Squatter," Robin leaves Nora for Jenny Petherbridge, which becomes Nora's great tragedy, an " obsession that she attempts unsuccessfully to conquer during the rest the novel. In the next three chapters ("Watchman, What of the "Where the Tree Falls," and "Go Down Matthew"), Dr. provides what consolation he can for those who desire inoom: Felix, Nora, and Jenny. But Nora is inconsolable, saying to '" herself: "In the resurrection, when we come up looking backward at 'each other, I shall know you only of all that company." Robin re-sponds: "Don't wait for me" (N 58-9).

    1. World War II marked an especially important turning point. Women who enjoyed relatively good wages, union protections, and status while filling traditional­ly male jobs during the war were jolted upon their return to the “blue- and pink-collar ghetto of women’s work” after the war (Cobble 2004: 13). This new self-confidence, expe­rience with institution building, and rising feminist consciousness “gave wage-earning women a new vocabulary and an ideological framework within which to justify their de­mands”

As if that light had power to bnng what was dreaded into the zone of their catastrophe, Nora saw the body of another woman swim up into the ,statue's obscurity, with head hung down, that the added eyes might not augment the illumination; he~ ~rms about Robin's neck, her body pressed to Robm s, her legs slackened in the hang of the embrace.

Her mind became so transfixed that, by the agency of her fear, Robin seemed enormous and polarized, all catas-trophes ran toward her, the magnetized predicament; and crying out, Nora would wake from sleep, going back through the tide of dreams into which her anx-iety had thrown her, taking the body o

    2. That the meaning of lesbian is in practice more stable and accessible than some of its would-be deconstructors would allow can be demon-strated, I think, by the following somewhat comic example. In my opening paragraph I refer to Greta Garbo as a lesbian, despite the fact, as some readers will know, she occasionally had affairs with men as well as women. Why not refer to her, more properly, as a bisexual? Because I think it more meaningful to refer to her as a lesbian. And I ./ am not the only person to think so.

      this could be problematic

    3. I'm ambivalent about the term queer. I think it's useful in certain ways-it has the cringe factor. it's confrontational. And there is some-thing about the experience ofbeing an outsider that's embedded in the word. When you throw it back in people's faces, it can produce a cer-tain sense of empowerment. It also has limitations. In some ways, it reminds me of the word gay. I worked really hard to get lesbian into usage, and so did a lot of people who came before me. Lumping us together [with gay men] erases the differences, the inequalities be-tween US.1

      disproval of lumping of using umbrella terms for lesbian, such as gay or queer.

    4. As I argue in two of the ess~ys in this volume, "The Diaries of Anne Lister" and "Marie An-toir~tte Obsession, n one can find striking evidence of a certain incipi-en~ lesbian self-awareness well before the so-called invention of the lesllian around 1900.

      author's argument is that lesbianism is found in literature long before the term existed

    5. or so the argument usually runs, there was no such thing as lesbian identity, nor any self-avowedly "homosexual" beh~v­ior on the part of individual women. The lesbian only became possi-bl~, supposedly, after she was "produced" by turn-of-the-century orIi-nicians.

      argument that women did not practice lesbianism until after the term was produced

    6. Michel Foucault-which holds that lesbianism, at least in the fla-grantly sexualized sense that we usually understand the term today, is by and large a fabrication of late nineteenth-and early twentieth-century male sexologists.

    1. The Fifteenth Amendment established the right of freed black men to vote, but failed to extend the vote to any women, creating a controversy that split the suffrage movement. Some suffragists, including Lucy Stone, her husband and fellow reformer Henry Blackwell, and most (but not all) prominent black activists supported the Fifteenth Amendment, arguing that black men needed the vote more urgently than women did, and expressing concerns that woman suffrage might prevent the amendment from passing. Stanton and Anthony vehemently disagreed and publicly opposed the amendment as they continued to demand universal suffrage.

    2. Dovidio and colleagues, for instance,argue that fostering positive feelings toward stigmatized groupsmay inadvertently obscure the need for social change. Thus, it is crit-ical to identify approaches to intergroup relations that can simulta-neously promote more positive intergroup sentimentsandgreaterrecognition of ongoing discrimination.

    1. The crucial factor in concluding that these results show auto-matic effects on behavior derives from the perceiver's lack ofawareness of the influence of the words.

      another strength of this study is how they check that the word activity did not have a conscious affect with a second questionnaire.

    2. The participant was informed that the purpose of the study was to in-vestigate language proficiency and that he or she was to complete ascrambled-sentence task.

    3. he deduction that follows natu-rally from these two sets of findings is that the priming or auto-matic activation of stereotypes should make the perceiver him-or herself more likely to act in accordance with the trait con-cepts that participate in that stereotype. We designed Experi-ments 2 and 3 to test this hypothesis in the context of two dis-tinct stereotypes: one for elderly people and one for AfricanAmericans

    5. teraction behavior can be primed, the time-to-interruption dis-tribution varied considerably from normality. Fully 21 of the 34participants did not interrupt at all in the 10 min available tothem, so that the time variable suffered from a severe ceilingeffect. Thus, we reanalyzed the data in terms of the percentageof participants in each priming condition who interrupted at allduring the 10-min period.

    6. he last three items con-cerned the experimenter, whether he or she was on time, whether he orshe explained the study and answered questions, and the critical item:"Was the experimenter courteous and polite to you?" This the partici-pant responded to on a -3 to +3 scale that ranged from —3 (not at all)to +3 (very much so). This item served as our check for a potentialalternative interpretation of our results, to be discussed below.

    7. No participant showed any awareness or suspicion as to the scrambled-sentence test's possible influence on their interruption behavior; nearlyall participants reported either no effect of the first task or that both itand the anagram task were related to language ability, which was thecover story

    8. Our hypothesis was that participants in the rude prime conditionwould interrupt more quickly than neutral prime condition partici-pants, and those in the polite prime condition would wait longer to in-terrupt than would neutral condition participants.

    9. egner's ironic process model contends that acts ofintentional control over our thought and behavior involve anautomatic monitoring of the presence of the unwanted state.When this automatic vigilance notices the to-be-controlledthought or response tendency, conscious processing can inhibitit from occurring. In this way, experimental participants candistract themselves from thinking about white bears (forexample) by consciously thinking about something else. B

    10. William James held that the mere act of thinking about abehavior increased the tendency to engage in that behavior; hecalled this the principle of ideomotor action:

    11. We propose that social behavior is often triggered automati-cally on the mere presence of relevant situational features; thisbehavior is unmediated by conscious perceptual or judgmentalprocesses.
