Female homosexuality remains a controversial topic. Comparing psychoanalytic and sociological-feminist approaches to the phenomenon, the author points up clear theoretical distinctions between the two perspectives. Feminist authors tend towards an idealization of female homosexuality, while psychoanalysts display an inclination to devalue it as something pathological. However, the latent messages in both discourses have a number of points in common, traceable to a key problem they both have to come to grips with, the "lesbian complex". In lesbian relationships Flaake discerns a "third chance", an area not sanctioned by society, in which it is possible to re-attempt something left unattained in the early mother-daughter relationship: the appropriation of the female body.
女性同性恋仍然是一个有争议的话题。通过比较精神分析和社会女权主义对这一现象的研究方法，作者指出了这两种观点之间明显的理论差异。女权主义作者倾向于将女性同性恋理想化，而精神分析学家则倾向于将其贬低为病态的东西。然而，两种论述中的潜在信息有许多共同之处，可追溯到它们都必须面对的一个关键问题，即“女同性恋情结”。在女同性恋关系中，弗拉克发现了一种“第三次机会”，这是一个不为社会所认可的领域，在其中有可能重新尝试在早期母女关系中未实现的事情：对女性身体的占有。
