Closer to home is a collection of essays with a focus in Bi feminism. Coming from different authors, the book includes a variety of perspectives as they intersect at times with race and class. Although I did not agree with all authors all the time, the book provided wonderful ideas and insight that can inform readers feminist praxis. Due to it being published in the 1990s, there have been aome advances that do make some sections less relevant to today, but are good for historical insight. A notable example being the identity of "Bisexual Lesbian", which is largely non-existent today, and the existence of a "Febfem" identity today for many in place of the older "Bisexual Lesbian". Overall, a great book on bisexuality and feminism. ( )
