I Wish I Was a Lesbian Online Book Launch
About
Join us as Bronwyn Winter launches I WISH I WAS A LESBIAN: WOMEN'S LIVES BEYOND HETEROSEXUALITY.What if heterosexuality wasn’t innate, but enforced and expected?
Can sexuality change?
Can any woman be a lesbian?
Edited by Angela C. Wild, this collection brings together women across cultures and generations – from lifelong lesbians reflecting through a lesbian feminist lens, to women consciously leaving heterosexuality behind to embrace lesbianism.
Across essays, poetry and artworks, I WISH I WAS A LESBIAN challenges the assumption that heterosexuality is natural or inevitable. It reopens conversations often shut down, and invites readers to examine the structures shaping women’s lives.
For women questioning heterosexuality, this book offers a space for political reflection and consciousness-raising – connecting personal experience with broader systems and asking: what is heterosexuality, and do I want to be part of it?
