Baumgardner's book should actually be called the emergence of open bi-sexuality among women.

Not that it's anything new, but it has reached the "trend level" label in the media, and Baumgardner -- a veteran journalist for progressive publications and social advocate -- brings her personal experience and perspective to the subject matter.

As her book demonstrates, it's not really a political issue: it's a personal choice issue, as it should be in a free society.

"Jennifer Baumgardner's Look Both Ways is a jaunty, fearless, personal and political look at bisexuality today. Because she knows that sex is a way we communicate, not just procreate, she gives us a glimpse of a freer future in which sexuality is less about who is talking and more about what is said."

--Gloria Steinem


"In a time when the powers that be are closing borders, narrowing our thinking and sexuality, Look Both Ways is a brave and celebratory call to open to complexity, to live in the questions, to surrender to the non-PC world of desire, to become sexual nomads."

--Eve Ensler, creator of V-Day and The Vagina Monologues
