Book Overview

A funny, bullshit-free and surprising history

Queer families have always existed

Even Sappho, the OG lesbian, had a daughter named Cleis, in honour of vaginas everywhere! For centuries, the women of 'The Golden Orchid Society' in Qing-dynasty China were getting married and raising daughters together - platonically, obviously... And Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson's fabulously bisexual open marriage proved women really can have it all - a husband, two kids, a writing career and Virginia Woolf.

Maybe you're exploring your options. Maybe you don't want kids but you have questions. Either way, Kirsty Loehr provides another rollicking guide to the ups and downs of queer parenthood through the ages.
