Home and Sexuality
Palgrave Macmillan (Verlag)
978-1-137-46037-0 (ISBN)
Leaping from the radical lesbian feministcollectives and squats of the 1980s to the ordinariness of home life, the kitchen emerged as a tangle of cultural norms, customs, duties, ideas, aspirations, expectations, and values that tells us about the thinking process and behaviour of this specific group of older lesbians. In this context, the kitchen brings out the experiences of social inequalities experienced by these older lesbians, mainly brought out by the hegemonic institution of heteronormativity and patriarchy.
This ethnography will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines in anthropology, sociology, geography and feminism.
Rachael M Scicluna is a Lecturer in Social Anthropology at the School of Anthropology and Conservation, University of Kent, UK.
