Despite increasing openness around bisexuality, it's often still seen as something temporary: a sign of immaturity or a way station on the road to a different sexuality altogether.
In this beautifully written cultural history, Sam Mills reclaims bisexuality as its own identity, interweaving her experience of being bisexual with illuminating pen portraits of a clutch of artists, writers and musicians, including Colette, Bessie Smith, Marlene Dietrich, Anaïs Nin, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Madonna.
Celebrating the resilience, diversity and spirit of the bi community through the ages, Uneven explores how each of these trailblazing figures have been misunderstood; how social attitudes affected their sexuality, their relationships and their work; how LGBT identities have been portrayed from the Victorian era to the present day; and how attitudes have progressed.
