'an explicitly inclusive, thoughtful, joyful read' - REFINERY 29
'This "love letter of sorts" to inclusive queer women's culture is
perfect for anyone who's just come out, wants to know what the
heck's going on or has yearned for an entire chapter dedicated to
the film Carol.' - DIVA 'An introspective dive into the fast-moving
world of queer culture, Daisy unpacks some of the 21st century's
biggest lesbian and bisexual moments to paint a portrait of what
modern-day queerness looks like.' - GAY TIMES 'Daisy Jones
effortlessly explores queer culture' - COSMOPOLITAN
______________________________________________________________________________________
A modern, personal guide to the culture of queer women and everyone
in between. All The Things She Said explores the nature of 21st
century queerness. Lesbian and bi culture is ever-changing and
here, journalist Daisy Jones unpicks outdated stereotypes and shows
how, over the past few years, the style and shared language of
queer women has slowly infiltrated the mainstream. (Think less hemp
sandals, IKEA trips and nut milks and more freedom, expression,
community. And Cate Blanchett.) From the dingy basement clubs of
east London to the unchartered realms of TikTok, cutting in DIY
mullets and christening Meryl Streep 'Daddy', Daisy explores the
multifaceted nature of what it means to be lesbian or bi today,
while also looking back and celebrating the past. The book shines a
light on the never-ending process of coming out, what it's like to
date as a queer woman, how physical nightlife spaces have evolved
into online communities and the reasons why mental health issues
have disproportionately impacted LGBTQ+ people. As someone immersed
in the queer culture of women, Daisy brings both the personal
perspective and a journalistic one to this changing landscape.
Through interviews and lived experience, a cohesive image emerges:
one which shows that being lesbian, bi, or anything in between,
isn't necessarily always tied to gender, sexual practice or even
romantic attraction. With verve, humour and razor-sharp prose,
Daisy paints a vital and insightful modern day portrait of what it
means to be a queer woman in the 21st century.
