商品簡介
mystery. Historians have illuminated the worlds of upper-middle-class
"romantic friends" and working-class butch and femme women
who frequented lesbian bars in the '50s and '60s. The
majority of lesbians, however, were lower-middle-class women who hid
their sexual identity by engaging in discreet social and sexual
relationships.
Drawing on correspondence, interviews, journals, and newspaper
articles, Awfully Devoted Women offers a nuanced portrait of
the lives of middle-class lesbians in the decades before the gay rights
movement in English-Canada. Accounts and explorations of these
women's sexual practices, thoughts on same-sex desire, and
relations with friends and family unveil a world of private
relationships, house parties, and discreet social networks. This
intimate study of the lives of women forced to love in secret not only
challenges the idea that lesbian relationships in the past were
asexual, it also reveals the courage it took for women to explore
desire in an era when they were supposed to know little about
sexuality.
Awfully Devoted Women is the first book-length study of
lesbian sexuality, relationships, and community in Canada before 1965.
It will be of interest to students and practitioners of Canadian
history and women's studies and to anyone interested in the
history of sexuality.
