Married Women Who Love Women
Carren Strock
Carren Strock fell in love with a woman after twenty-seven years of a happy–and on-going–marriage. She wrote this book as a way to deal with her own discovery, and to help other women deal with theirs. By revealing her personal experience, and also interviewing over one hundred women of diverse backgrounds, as well as their husbands and children, she shows us that this phenomenon–married women loving women–is not as uncommon as we would have believed. Writing in an intimate and warm tone, Strock takes readers step-by-step through the experience of married women who discover they love women–from coming out to family and friends and dealing with guilt and shame, to first sexual experiences and finding acceptance. One of her many insights is that many women, like herself, remain married while also actively loving women.Apart from a few well-known MWLW, such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Virginia Woolf and Collette, married lesbians are a large, but largely hidden, segment of the population. This is the first book written for them, and their friends and families, and for all women who have wondered about their sexuality, their marriages, and whether they might be more fulfilled in same-sex relationships. This book will also fascinate anyone interested in female sexuality and human behavior.
