A funny, bullshit-free and surprising history

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

For most straight couples, starting a family tends to be simple… For queer couples, not so much.

But queer families have always existed – even Sappho, the OG lesbian, had a daughter. She named her Cleis, in honour of vaginas everywhere!

Exploring the historic lives of queer parents like Oscar Wilde and the women of ‘The Golden Orchid Society’ – and guided by her own experience of reciprocal IVF – Kirsty Loehr provides another rollicking guide to the ups and downs of queer parenthood through the ages in A Short History of Queer Parenting.
