With hair slicked back and shirt collar framing her young patrician face, Katharine Hepburn's image in the 1935 film Sylvia Scarlett was seen by many as a "lesbian" representation. Investigating what allows viewers to make an image or narrative work as "lesbian," this title presents a theoretical exploration of lesbian visibility.
