Women and Bisexuality

This book explores the contributions of bisexual women to queer culture, offering essays that reflect their experiences and perspectives globally.

In Women and Bisexuality, the growing contribution of bisexual individuals, particularly women, to queer culture on a global scale is explored. This collection features a series of insightful essays, studies, and reviews that aim to create a language that accurately represents the complexities of bisexuality from a feminine perspective. The diverse authors delve into various fields such as anthropology, sociology, health, literature, film, history, and biography, mapping the progress of bisexual studies across these disciplines and analyzing the experiences of bisexual women in regions ranging from North America to Africa.

The contributions within Women and Bisexuality illustrate the expansion of bisexuality from urban gay culture to more peripheral areas, highlighting how the movement is becoming increasingly inclusive of transnational and transcultural identities. Central themes include the disruptive nature of bisexuality on traditional categories and the sense of alienation that many bisexuals face. The approaches taken in the essays encompass critical theory, deconstruction, textual analysis, cognitive psychology, personal narratives, and qualitative research, making for a rich and varied exploration of the subject.

Topics covered in the book include the influence of feminism on the visibility of bisexual women, the dynamics of multi-sexual relationships in Australia, a South African perspective on bisexuality, and the exploration of bisexuality's invisibility. Women and Bisexuality serves as an essential resource for anyone interested in the intersection of sexuality, literature, and activism, offering refreshing insights that transcend mere identity.
