Closer to Home by Elizabeth Reba Weise

Closer to Home is a groundbreaking collection of twenty-two essays that explores the political, social, and emotional landscape of female bisexuality through a feminist lens. Bringing together diverse voices across different racial, ethnic, and class backgrounds—including prominent activists like Robyn Ochs—the anthology directly challenges the rigid binary of the 'either/or' sexual matrix. The contributors interrogate the roots of biphobia within both mainstream heterosexual society and the lesbian-feminist community, dismantling the misconception that bisexuality is merely a transitional phase or an evasion of political commitment. Through personal narratives and sharp theoretical analysis, this volume articulates a unique bisexual feminist framework that fights to dismantle patriarchy while reclaiming a wholeness of identity.
