“Lavender Sounds provides a rare insight into how lesbian radio and queer feminist soundwork helped inform audiences during a time when few other resources were available. With the inclusion of interviews and show transcripts, the reader can hear the times in which they were produced, from the concerns, hopes, and dreams to the reality of the ongoing struggle."

- Phylis West Johnson, San Jose State University

“The sounds of queer feminism past and present take shape through meticulous archival research and interviews with contemporary podcasters who have made this aesthetic anew. Listening to these archives with a sensibility rooted in the present, Stacey Copeland theorizes an auditory aesthetic that goes beyond feminist historiography’s emphasis on visual and print culture. The affects and urgencies of a movement come alive across generations through Copeland’s text, which tells a rich story about what listening together can do for feminism.”

“Rigorous in its evidence and radical in its imagination, Lavender Sounds invites us to orient ourselves toward networks of queer and feminist soundworkers that transcend time and place. In the process, this book reminds us that listening to our queer pasts is a vital tool for imagining our queer futures.”

- Hannah McGregor, Simon Fraser University

“Lavender Sounds represents the best sort of scholarship: erudite, original, and engaging. Stacey Copeland's skillful weaving together of different bodies of knowledge, archive materials, and careful critique demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of current scholarship and careful personal reflections. This book will bring a nuanced, multifaceted account of queer feminist practice into radio and sound studies, and a rare focus on audio production to feminist media and cultural studies.”
