The Lives of Older Lesbians

Sexuality, Identity & the Life Course

By: Jane Traies

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.

Astley's Amphitheatre

By: Jacqueline S. Bratton,Jane Traies

Astley's Amphitheatre occupies a unique position in the history of popular entertainment. For over a hundred years it was a familiar feature of London life: no student of the theatre, literature or of social history can have failed to come across it. Astley's began as a riding school, and developed into that vigorous hybrid of theatre and circus which captivated generations of Londoners and was immortalized by Dickens. It formed a vital link between the legitimate and popular theatre, and influenced the development of the circus in Europe and America. - Introduction.
