Lesbians Talk Violent Relationships by Joelle Taylor; Tracey Chandler

Lesbians Talk Violent Relationships

Joelle Taylor; Tracey Chandler

Ground-breaking and much-needed discussion on violence, based on individual experiences and an extensive survey.

That lesbian relationships can be violent and abusive, rather than the womean-to-woman utopias of feminist myth-making, is a well-kept secret. But how prevalent is violence and coercion in lesbian experience? This is the first book on abusive lesbian relationships to be published in the UK. Basing their research on an extensive survey of survivor’s own experiences, the authors draw up a picture of how abuse happens and how we might deal with it. Essential reading for professionals working with violence and abuse, lesbians who have for too long ignored the problem – and of course for anyone who has survived or is undergoing an abusive relationship.
