Synopsis

Originally written in the 1990s, this book remains a key resource for women in heterosexual marriages who discover, or are coming to terms with, their lesbianism or bisexuality.

Celebrating twenty-five years since first publication, this book shares the author's personal story, as well as the descriptive experience of others, to provide validation and empowerment to multitudes of women in their search for their true identities. The author gives women ways in which to structure and restructure their lives and their families after they realize their same-gender sexuality. Chapters consider questions such as how women make this discovery, reactions from loved ones, and the outcomes for marriages and families. Updated throughout with contemporary understandings of sexuality and gender, as well as updated language, this book includes a wealth of information, fresh narratives, and stories offering insight into women's experiences across the country.

This is an essential book for women and their partners who are discovering their true identity, as well as therapists, helping professionals, and students of women's studies, gender studies, sexuality studies, and LGBTQ studies programs.

But as I haven't re......more

Goodreads review by Patricia on September 04, 2020

In her third edition, Strock goes beyond lesbian and bisexual behavior to include all factions of the LGBTQ+ community. The author’s handling of these complex topics is clear and straightforward. Through the many interviews included, the work resonates on a personal as well as an academic level. I s......more
