Challenging the often unquestioned hegemony of gay studies over lesbian studies, Jagose offers a theory of the lesbian. Drawing upon the work of such theorists as Eve Sedgwick and Luce Irigaray, she articulates a theory of "lesbian" space which symbolically exceeds the boundaries of understanding.
In Lesbian Utopics, Annamarie Jagose surveys the construction of the lesbian and finds her in a cultural space that is both everywhere and, of all places, nowhere. The "lesbian", in other words, is symbolically central, yet culturally marginal.
