At pride marches, in films such as Go Fish, at academic conferences, the role and status of bisexuals is hotly contested. Within lesbian communities, formed to support lesbians in a patriarchal and heterosexist society, bisexual women are often perceived as a threat or as a political weakness. Bisexual women feel that they are regarded with suspicion and distrust, if not openly scorned. Drawing on her research with over 400 bisexual and lesbian women, surveying the treatment of bisexuality in the lesbian and gay press, and examining the recent growth of a self-consciously political bisexual movement, Paula Rust addresses a range of questions pertaining to the political and social relationships between lesbians and bisexual women. By tracing the roots of the controversy over bisexuality among lesbians back to the early lesbian feminist debates of the 1970s, Rust argues that those debates created the circumstances in which bisexuality became an inevitable challenge to lesbian politics. She also traces it forward, predicting the future of sexual politics. 410 0$aCutting edge (New York, N.Y.) 606 $aSexual behavior surveys$zUnited States 606 $aLesbianism$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aBisexuality$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aBisexual women$zUnited States$xPsychology 606 $aBisexual women$zUnited States$xAttitudes 606 $aLesbians$zUnited States$xPsychology 606 $aLesbians$zUnited States$xIdentity 606 $aLesbians$zUnited States$xAttitudes 615 0$aSexual behavior surveys 615 0$aLesbianism$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aBisexuality$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aBisexual women$xPsychology. 615 0$aBisexual women$xAttitudes. 615 0$aLesbians$xPsychology. 615 0$aLesbians$xIdentity. 615 0$aLesbians$xAttitudes. 676 $a305.489664 700 $aRust$b Paula C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01214568 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910213828303321 996 $aBisexuality and the Challenge to Lesbian Politics$92804496 997 $aUNINA
