The lives of older lesbianssexuality, identity & the life course /[electronic resource] :by Jane Traies. - London :Palgrave Macmillan UK :2016. - ix, 245 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1. Introduction: Finding Older Lesbians -- Chapter 2. Hidden in Plain Sight: Home, Family and Relationships -- Chapter 3. In and Out of the Closet: Community and Friendship -- Chapter 4. Learning Difference: Childhood and Adolescence -- Chapter 5. Finding a Place: Spaces of Liberation -- Chapter 6. Gender and Politics: Butches, Femmes and Feminists -- Chapter 7. Telling stories: 'Suffering, Surviving and Surpassing' -- Chapter 8. Looking Ahead: Older Lesbians Talk About the Future -- Chapter 9. Conclusion: 'Now You See Me…'.

This unique book sheds new light on the most invisible members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. Hidden from view by a combination of prevailing cultural assumptions and their own unwillingness to be seen, older lesbians have been consistently under-represented in both popular culture and research. This ground-breaking study, based on an unprecedentedly large research sample of nearly four hundred lesbian-identified women between the ages of 60 and 90, offers a fascinating insight into the lives of older lesbians in the UK. Drawing on data from a comprehensive questionnaire survey and illustrated with vivid personal testimonies, it explores both the diversity and the distinct collective identity of the older lesbian community, arguing that understanding their past experience is crucial to providing for their needs in the future. It is essential reading for scholars in the fields of women's studies and genders and sexualities, and will also appeal to sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists, social and cultural historians, and experts in ageing, gerontology, nursing and social work.
