Bi (Julia Shaw)

A WATERSTONES BEST BOOK OF 2022: POLITICS

Bi: The Hidden Culture, History and Science of Bisexuality explores all that we know about the world's largest sexual minority. It is a personal journey that starts with Dr Julia Shaw's own openly bisexual identity, and celebrates the resilience and beautiful diversity of the bi community. From the hunt for a bi gene, to the relationship between bisexuality and consensual non-monogamy, to asylum seekers who need to prove their bisexuality in a court of law, there is more to explore than most have ever realised.

She is the author of three books: The Memory Illusion, Making Evil and Bi. Her books have been translated into more than twenty languages. Dr Shaw is also a TV and audio presenter, particularly well known for hosting true crime shows with the BBC. She was born in Germany, grew up in Canada, and now lives in the UK.
