A Short History of Queer Parenting

About The Book

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.
