Thought I'd pass along some information on a book I just came across, for those who may be interested. . .
Look Both Ways: Bisexual Politics (Hardcover)
by Jennifer Baumgardner (Author)
Price: $16.32 at Amazon.com
Reading Jennifer Baumgardner's Look Both Ways is like discovering that you share a secret with a friend you've known all your life. Part-memoir, part-cultural critique, the book is essential for anyone who wants to understand bisexuality and how it fits into our culture.
From indie folksinger Ani DiFranco to actor Anne Heche, Baumgardner analyzes bisexual behavior, drawing upon her personal experiences with both men and women. "Girls today look both ways," she writes, "not because it's a phase and we're painfully trendy, or because we are pathological and weak, but because there is plenty in it for us ... Looking both ways is not about just behaviors. It is aiding women to make that final step toward liberation." She credits feminism for opening this and other options up to women.
