For the acclaimed author and activist Jennifer Baumgardner,
bisexuality has always been more than the "sexual non-preference of
the '90s." In "Look Both Ways", Baumgardner takes a close look at
the growing visibility of gay and bisexual characters, performers,
and issues on the national cultural stage. Despite the prevalence
of bisexuality among Generation X and Y women, she finds that it
continues to be marginalized by both gay and straight cultures, and
dismissed either as a phase or a cop-out.With intimacy and humour,
Baumgardner discusses her own experience as a bisexual, and the
struggle she's undergone to reconcile the privilege she's garnered
as a woman who is perceived as straight and the empowerment and
satisfaction she's derived from her relationships with women. That
Baumgardner argues have bridged feminist aims with those of the gay
rights movement. "Look Both Ways" is a compelling and current study
in bisexual lives lived secretly and openly, and an exploration of
the lessons learned by writers, artists, and activists who have
refused the either/or paradigm defended by both gay and straight
communities.
