Women and Bisexuality: A Global Perspective reflects the growing
contribution bisexuals, and especially bisexual women, make to
queer culture on an international level. This unique book presents
a collection of thoughtful essays, studies, and reviews that
combine to help develop a language that reflects the reality of
bisexuality from a feminine/feminist viewpoint. Authors map the
inroads made by bisexual studies into conventional disciplines,
including anthropology, sociology, health, literature, film,
history, and biography, and analyze the situations of bisexual
women in areas as diverse as France, North America, Germany,
Australia, and Africa. The rich and varied contributions to Women
and Bisexuality: A Global Perspective track the spread of
bisexuality from the urban and metropolitan centers of gay culture
to more peripheral areas as the movement becomes more and more
hospitable to transnational and transcultural people. The book's
main themesbisexuality's ability to disrupt categories and the
resulting feeling of alienation many bisexuals experienceare
manifested in approaches that include critical theory,
deconstruction, textual analysis, cognitive psychology, personal
essay, review essay, reportage, and qualitative study. Topics
