Lesbian Epiphanies: Women Coming Out in Later

From Lesbian Epiphanies: Women Coming Out in Later Life, researchers, social workers, and professors in the fields of sociology, psychology, women's studies, and human sexuality will examine how the traditional, societal roles of women can negatively shape and disrupt female identity development. Featuring revealing case studies of 25 women who married men and later came out as lesbian or bisexual, this book discusses and explores the societal limits placed on women and cultural restraints that prevented these women from being aware of their true sexuality.

Karol Jensen, MPH, PhD, is a psychotherapist in private practice in Minneapolis, Minnesota
