Women and Bisexuality
Scarlet Press, UK, 1993
Sue George is also the author of the Bisexuality and beyond blog regularly featured on
BiCafe.com
When it came out in 1993, Women and Bisexuality was the first
serious book on bisexuality ever published in the UK. It was in print
for 11 years, and you can still find it on Amazon.
From the back cover:
How do bisexual women lead their lives? Are they monogamous,
celibate, involved in multiple relationships? Are they young, old,
black, white, married, single, living as lesbians? How do their partners
feel about their sexuality? How open can they be with their children,
colleagues, friends and families? And what has led them to identify in
this way?
In Sue George's pioneering study - the first full-length book on bisexual
women to have appeared in the UK - 150 women from a range of backgrounds
and age groups tell what it's like to be bisexual. Their experiences,
including seven long and frank interviews are placed against an
examination of the theories developed about bisexuality from the late
nineteenth century to the present day, a discussion of the often fraught
relationship between bisexuality and feminism, and an analysis of why it
has suited society to ignore bisexuality and to pigeonhole everyone into
the categories of heterosexual and homosexual. A valuable contribution
to our knowledge about sexuality, Women and Bisexuality paints a vivid
picture of how bisexual women live today and asks how bisexuality as a
political and social identity might be constructed in the future. |
