Product Description

Product Description

Drawing from a broad range of cultures and classes, this collection of first-person essays, interviews and poems offers a glimpse into the lives of women who got married and then came out as lesbians. It tells the stories of women who have had to overcome ostracism and homophobia. It deals on a personal level with most of the problems facing married lesbians: family conflicts, custody battles, financial strains, struggles to achieve independence and finding a sense of wholeness.


From the Publisher

43 married women share their journeys of discovery
Any heterosexual woman who is discovering herself to have woman-loving feelings will find support and guidance in these pages. Friends and family members of married women who "come out" into lesbian or bisexual life, will better understand this complex transformation. From Wedded Wife to Lesbian Life has 43 unique personal narratives of a wide range of women with before-and-after photos, as well as poetry and resources.It is a popular, enjoyable book which readers have overwhelmingly described as a "lifesaver" and "a coming-out-of-marriage bible."

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking and encouraging, 21 Jul 2002
By A Customer
This book is not anti-men or anti-marriage but a collection of the experiences of women who were once in long-term heterosexual relationships but who have moved or are moving to lesbian life.

Many of the stories are moving, some will bring tears to your eyes, all bear witness to the sensitivity and inner strength of women. The effect is not to encourage women to leave the world of men but to show that there is another way - and a better way for some.

Married lesbians who read this book will find that they are not alone and will gain comfort and hope from it. Women no longer in a heterosexual relationship but drawn towards other women will find encouragement here. Others, whether male or female will find much to think about, if their minds are open.
