{"product_id":"forbidden-lives-norena-shopland-9781781724101","title":"Forbidden Lives: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Stories from Wales","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eForbidden Lives\u003c\/em\u003e is a fascinating collection of portraits and discussions that aims to populate LGBT gaps in the history of Wales, a much neglected part of Welsh heritage. In it Norena Shopland reviews the reasons for this neglect while outlining the activity behind the recent growth of the LGBT profile here. She also surveys LGBT people and their activity as far back as Giraldus Cambrensis' Journey Through Wales in the twelfth century where he reports on 'bearded women' and other hermaphrodites. There is still plenty of work to do, as chapters on the responses to Pride in Wales and the first gay play, \u003cem\u003eWe All Fall Down\u003c\/em\u003e, clearly show. But the stories of the people portrayed in the book are less likely to be repeated: the LGBT community has moved from living forbidden lives to a place largely less forbidding. Norena Shopland helps us understand the struggle which achieved these changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norena Shopland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781724105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781724101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seren Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Norena Shopland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48216452301055,"sku":"9781781724101","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e11fc269-9a0b-400a-a1bc-53df19953065.jpg?v=1771991090","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/forbidden-lives-norena-shopland-9781781724101","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
