In Everyday Erotics, Denise Tse-Shang Tang explores the lives of older women with same-sex desire in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. Tang interviews women born in the 1930’s through the 1960’s, looking at how their lives differ across culture, class, and place, and how they lived and understood their own desires and social worlds. Through these tales of love, intimacy, family obligations, and personal respectability, she presents narrative accounts and analyses that complicate cultural notions of romance and desire at the intersections of gender roles, social class, and history. An ethnography grounded in inter-Asian cultural flows and connected histories, Everyday Erotics builds an archive of queer women’s lives and a genealogy of their experiences.
