Science writer and psychologist Julia Shaw delves into the much-overlooked world of bisexuality.

Bisexuality is often the butt of the joke — scoffed at, disrespected, or forgotten.

In her 2022 book, Bi: The Hidden Culture, History, and Science of Bisexuality, Julia Shaw looks to the annals of history to find examples of bi culture and outlines the difficulties that bi people experience day to day.

Shaw is a science writer and criminal psychologist who identifies as bisexual. Here, she uses scientific studies, anecdotes, and historical figures to make the case for why bisexuality needs to be better understood.
