- Description
- This book explores the meanings and experiences of home among a group of lesbians who over the past five decades have sought to create alternative intimate and public living spaces. The meaning of home and domestic space emerges from life histories informed by the wider social and political context and moves from the earliest memories of their childhood kitchens to their contemporary domestic lives. The kitchen emerged as a tangle of cultural norms, customs, duties, ideas, aspirations, expectations and values that tells about the thinking process and behaviour of this group of older lesbians.
