This unique book sheds new light on the most invisible members of
the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. Hidden
from view by a combination of prevailing cultural assumptions and
their own unwillingness to be seen, older lesbians have been
consistently under-represented in both popular culture and
research. This ground-breaking study, based on an unprecedentedly
large research sample of nearly four hundred lesbian-identified
women between the ages of 60 and 90, offers a fascinating insight
into the lives of older lesbians in the UK. Drawing on data from a
comprehensive questionnaire survey and illustrated with vivid
personal testimonies, it explores both the diversity and the
distinct collective identity of the older lesbian community,
arguing that understanding their past experience is crucial to
providing for their needs in the future. It is essential reading
for scholars in the fields of women's studies and genders and
sexualities, and will also appeal to sociologists, political
scientists, anthropologists, social and cultural historians, and
experts in ageing, gerontology, nursing and social work.
