The first three issues of this important lesbian philosophy journal published and edited by Foxx [then Jeanette] Silveira.

“One of a small number of extraordinary journals of lesbian culture in the United States, Lesbian Ethics  (hereafter, LE) has published highly readable philosophical essays, reviews, discussions, and other nonfiction since late 1984… LE advertises itself as ‘a journal of radical lesbian ethics and politics, with an emphasis on how lesbians behave with each other.’ ... Although a number of academics and former academics have published articles in LE--including Jacqueline Anderson, Susan Cavin, Chris Cuomo, Marilyn Frye, Sarah Hoagland, Julia Penelope, Lori Saxe, Joyce Trebilcot, Jacqueline Zita, and yours truly--contributions come at least as frequently from lesbians outside the academy whose occupations and situations are very diverse... “ (Claudia Card, Hypatia, vol. 7, no. 4, Fall 1992.)

From the first issue: “Lesbians are in our daily lives building the first true ethics, and I want Lesbian Ethics to contribute to and to name this pioneering work.”
