Gender, Lace and Glass concerns examining and challenging the nature of one's fantasies. It looks at how dominant culture's co-authorship of personal imaginings can impose priorities and standards that may be miles away from the lived experience or values of the person fantasizing. The protagonist begins the process of undoing/rewriting a self-image that doesn't fit.
