From Your Editor: What Happens Next, pt. 2

Jul 15, 2021 | 2013 Summer - What Happens Next? Pt. 2, Editor's Note

We received so many submissions to our last issue that we decided to continue with the same theme. So this new issue is “What Happens Next, part 2.”

Readers were asked: “What did you do next? Did you look for supportive community? Read books? Try to meet other women loving women? Seek out experience? See a counselor? Look for information on the Internet? Ask friends for advice? Tell us your story. Or give advice to other women who might be in this situation now.”

This issue includes essays by A.J. Walkley, Suzanne Lauer, Denise Garrow-Pruitt, Jane Barnes, Amber Terner, Michelle Snyder, and Zuzi, as well as a poem by Jane Barnes.

The Around the World column is back, with a piece by Surya Monroe (Switzerland & The United Kingdom). You’ll also find two book reviews,  an article about a recent Dear Abby column, the Ask Tiggy column, News Briefs, and –of course– our Calendar of Events for June, July, and August.

Speaking of the calendar, there has been a staffing change at Bi Women: after several years of faithful service as Calendar Editor, Ellyn Ruthstrom has stepped down from this position and Kate Estrop is our new Calendar Editor. Thank you, Ellyn, for all of the time that you put into this project, and welcome, Kate.
