Lisa focuses her writing on feminist cultural criticism. Her essays have appeared in several anthologies -- Sex and Single Girls: Queer and Straight Women on Sexuality, Women as Sites of Culture, and He Said, She Says -- as well as the academic journals, Sexuality and Culture, The Henry James Review, and American Anthropologist.
