Content and Summary Info

Bisexual Content: This is a novel partly based on the life of bisexual writer/feminist Margaret Fuller. Two main characters (cisgender women) have/have had romantic and/or sexual relationships with people of more than one gender.

Publisher's Summary: Tenure-track professor Angelica Bookbinder is researching a book on...New England feminist Margaret Fuller (1810-1850)... Fascinated by Fuller's personal life as much as by her brilliance, Angelica focuses her research on the role that love played in Fuller's life, examining bisexual liaisons, while trying to understand her lifelong struggle to balance her intellectual strengths with her emotional needs. Driven by the belief that Fuller's life was dominated by a frustrated quest for love, Angelica passionately pursues her research, all the while aware that in doing so, she is straying from the academic straight and narrow.
