For readers of Saidiya Hartman and Jeanette Winterson, Lesbian Love Story is an intimate journey into the archives—uncovering the romances and role models written out of history and what their stories can teach us all about how to love When Amelia Possanza moved to Brooklyn to build a life of her own, she found herself surrounded by queer stories: she read them on landmark placards, overheard them on the pool deck when she joined the world’s largest LGBTQ swim team, and even watched them on TV in her cockroach-infested apartment. These stories inspired her to seek out lesbians throughout history who could become her role models, in romance and in life. Centered around seven love stories for the ages, this is Possanza’s journey into the archives to recover the personal histories of lesbians in the twentieth century: who they were, how they loved, why their stories were destroyed, and where their memories echo and live on. Possanza’s hunt takes readers from a drag king show in Bushwick to the home of activists in Harlem and then across the ocean to Hadrian’s Library, where she searches for traces of Sappho in the ruins. Along the way, she discovers her own love—for swimming, for community, for New York City—and adds her record to the archive. At the heart of this riveting, inventive history, Possanza asks: How could lesbian love help us reimagine care and community? What would our world look like if we replaced its foundation of misogyny with something new, with something distinctly lesbian?
Chancing Love: Lesbian Love Stories is a bundle of 3 steamy and sensual lesbian F/F romances from lesbian fiction author Gabrielle Fox. If you’re looking for heartwarming lesbian romances full of love and joy with plenty of steam, and that all end with happy endings, then Chancing Love will not leave you disappointed. The three love stories contained in this boxed set are: Roommate, Starting Over, and Unexpected. * Roommate Love… to be completely honest, I never thought I’d find it. By the time I got to college, I’d never been on a date. Never had a guy tell me he liked me. Never even felt attracted to a guy. Never yearned for… anyone. Maybe it just wasn’t for me. Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be. Until I saw my roommate. Karen stole my breath away. She was gorgeous, funny, and she really turned me on. Now there’s something I never expected. Freshman year at college, and I’m falling for my roommate… who’s a girl. What’s next? A whirlwind romance? White-hot nights of sapphic pleasure? Finding… love? Come on. That never happens. …right? * Starting Over It was two years into our marriage that I felt it. A yearning. I needed something fundamentally different. Rob was a nice man. I could see us living our lives out… quiet. Uneventful. Unsatisfying. Unfulfilled. No, that wasn’t what I wanted. I tried to ignore it… tried to be the good wife. Tried to be the straight wife. But, deep down, I knew I wasn’t. I craved something… something I didn’t realize when I was a younger woman. Something that needed maturity and time to blossom. And now I was going to get what I craved. I was going to quench that thirst. I knew it would ruin the marriage. I knew my life would change forever. I knew a lot of things… But what I didn’t know was that it would lead to… …true love. * Unexpected I never saw it coming. It was totally unexpected. I was married with kids. She was eighteen and adventurous. It was never supposed to happen. This is not how I pictured my life. I thought I’d live a… conventional life. I never thought a young and beautiful woman would steal my heart away. I never thought I’d become addicted to a sexy, passionate girl who knew how to pleasure me in ways I’d never experienced. I never thought I’d yearn to start over… to start again. That I’d fall in love with her. That I’d leave my husband for her. That I’d find… myself. That I’d find happiness. *
This book explores how political, economic, social, cultural and technological forces are (re)shaping the meanings of love and intimacy in China's public culture. It focuses on a range of cultural and media forms including literature, film, television, music and new media, examines new cultural practices such as online activism, virtual intimacy and relationship counselling, and discusses how far love and romance have come to assume new shapes and forms in the twenty-first century. Love Stories in China offers deep insights into how the huge transformation of China over the last four decades has impacted the micro lives of ordinary Chinese people.
Weisser (English, Adelphi U.) writes that her anthology is "for anyone who is interested in understanding the conflicted but powerful female urge to experience the pleasure and endure the pain of romantic love." In particular, she explores the collision of pervasive media images of romance with feminist values of independence and self-assertion. Several dozen historic and contemporary works of criticism, personal essays, and letters, by feminist and anti-feminist thinkers, consider changing images of romantic love and whether romance, fundamentally, weakens or empowers women. Contributors include Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Charlotte Bronte, Karen Horney, Simone de Beauvoir, Rita Mae Brown, bell hooks, Vivian Gornick, and Carolyn Heilbrun. c. Book News Inc.
