Summary:

"Everyday Erotics weaves together the life stories of older Chinese women living in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan who have experienced same-sex relationships. Contextualizing these women's lives through an analysis of inter-Asian gender expressions without assuming transferable identities, Denise Tse-Shang Tan examines their different perspectives on desire, intimacy, love, and other forms of social connection. By charting the development of these older women's subjectivities in relation to place, gender, social class, and culture, Tang attempts to build a genealogy of sexualities and an archive of queer women's lives"-- Provided by publisher.
