![]() ![]() Lesbian and Bisexual Identities reveals how women fall in and out of love, how they "perform" lesbian or bisexual identity through clothing, hairstyle, body language, and talk, and many other aspects typically not considered. ![]() In interviews conducted over a four-year time period, women describe the lesbian community they live in how they see its structure, its social groups, its informal rules and norms for behavior and their places inside - or on the margins of - the community. Their meanings change over time as women grow older and have more varied experiences, as the communities and sociopolitical worlds in which they live change, and as their life circumstances alter. Created within the context of specific communities and within specific relationships, lesbian and bisexual identities are ways of sorting through experiences of desires and attractions, relationships, and politics. ![]() Esterberg argues that identities are multiple and contingent. Drawing on social constructionist approaches to identity, Kristin G. This book examines the stories of lesbian and bisexual women in a Northeast community who share who they are, how they have come to see themselves as lesbian or bisexual, and what those identities mean to them. ![]()
