I read this book hoping, by the title and description, for a discussion of the politics of bisexuality and the queer community. What I found instead was 1) the author's sexual history, and 2) her apparent belief that bisexuality is the superior sexual orientation, a guaranteed pathway to liberation and enlightenment for women. Male bisexuals and transfolk might as well not exist as far as this book is concerned. She devotes an entire chapter to the singer Ani DiFranco--and while, sure, I like Ani too, I don't think she's quite the cultural catalyst that the pages of laudations allotted to her would imply.

I was hoping that this book would serve as an addition to the canon of Loraine Hutchins and Lani Kaahumanu's Bi Any Other Name and Marjorie Garber's Vice Versa. Alas, it looks as though we have to stick with the classics for now.]]>
