20世纪90年代中后期，人们对空间及其与身份的关系产生了浓厚的兴趣，莎莉·蒙特对此做出了重要的理论贡献。《英雄欲望》是对女同性恋文化和与“空间”相关的身份政治的创造性和积极的探索。她热衷于证明，宣称自己是女同性恋者是政治性的，在一个恐同的环境中认定自己是女同性恋者是“英勇的”，而成为女同性恋者需要一定程度的叛逆，以支持自己的欲望。在整本书中，蒙特着眼于女同性恋亚文化中包含的各种身份，作为空间存在的形式，以及对女同性恋在主流文化中“缺席”的抵制。这些角色包括女同性恋英雄、fl<e:1> neur、butch、歹徒和公民。这本书包括六个章节，这些章节相互重叠和交叉，尽管每一章都可以独立地站得住脚。芒特首先详细介绍了“英雄”的概念，她注意到这个概念经常出现在后石墙女同性恋电影和小说中。与传统的异性恋英雄文本将读者带回异性恋世界相比，这些文本将女同性恋读者带入了另一个世界，例如，通过认同和欲望，一种新的“自我”形式或首选社区。她还认为女同性恋者fl<e:1>是创造生存空间的隐喻。就像女同性恋一样，fl<e:1>既脱离了城市生活，又成为城市生活的一部分，漂泊的女同性恋fl<e:1>的重要性在于，她通过流动性获得了空间的所有权，并提供了可见性。芒特把这比作城市街道上的同性恋大游行。关于布奇身体的那一章是对“布奇”一词的许多含义的冗长讨论，这一章在关于石头布奇和“布奇”的体现的部分中变得生动起来。她
The mid-to-late-1990s saw an explosive interest in space and its relation to identity and Sally Munt has made a significant theoretical contribution to this. Heroic Desire is a creative and positive exploration of lesbian culture and identity politics in relation to ‘space’. She is keen to demonstrate that claiming a lesbian self is political, that identifying as lesbian in a homophobic environment is ‘heroic’and that being a lesbian requires a degree of rebellion in favour of one’s own desire. Throughout the book, Munt looks at various identities that are included in lesbian subculture as forms of spatial existence and resistance to the ‘absence’of lesbians in dominant culture. These include the lesbian hero, flâneur, butch, outlaw and citizen. The book comprises six chapters that overlap and intersect, although each chapter may stand well on its own.Munt begins by detailing the concept of ‘hero’, which she has noticed to be constantly appearing in post-Stonewall lesbian film and fiction. In contrast to conventional heterosexual heroic texts that return the reader to a heterosexual world, these transport the lesbian reader to another world, for example, a new form of ‘self-hood’or a preferred community, via identification and desire. She also considers the lesbian flâneur as metaphor for creating spaces for existence. Like the lesbian, the flâneur is simultaneously detached from and a part of city life, the importance of the wandering lesbian flâneur being that through mobility she takes ownership of space and offers visibility. Munt likens this to Gay Pride marches through city streets. The chapter on the butch body is a lengthy discussion of the many meanings attached to the term ‘butch’and the chapter comes to life in the section regarding the stone butch and the embodiment of ‘butchness’. She
