It answers questions such as how women make this discovery, what they do once they realize their same-gender sexuality, how family and friends deal with the situation, and what happens to marriages and families.

This second edition contains a new introduction, three new chapters, a glossary of gay-related terms, and a new list of additional reading.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When she was a college student, aspiring writer Carren Strock's English professor told her, "Some people are writers, and some people aren't. You're not a writer."

She believed him and didn't pick up a pen for fifteen years. . .until Robert Redford came to town. Wanting to share her experiences as an extra in Redford's movie, she began to write. Her first story was published in a national magazine, which led to writing for other national magazines, and then to selling her first nonfiction book. "Married Women Who Love Women," sold at auction to a major New York publisher. This ground-breaking study of a previously unmentioned segment of society is now in its third edition.

Ms. Strock, a New York based author lectures on her improbable journey from "not a writer" to professional writer. She shares what she has learned along the way in her book, "A Writer's Journey: What to Know Before, During, and After Writing a Book."

Raised by parents who encouraged creativity, Carren Strock, equally at home with a paintbrush and canvas, needle and thread, or hammer and nails, is an all-around Renaissance woman. While best known for her ground-breaking book, "Married Women Who Love Women", now in its third edition, she is as eclectic in her writing as in her other pursuits. Her books include a how-to, a mystery, a lesbian paranormal, a rhyming picture book which she also illustrated, a cookbook and a gripping middle grade chapter book.

If you are a fan of Mary Higgins Clark you're sure to be a fan of Ms. Strock's book"In the Shadow of the Wonder Wheel". This is a mystery novel set in Coney Island, New York. She is currently working on a sequel.

When she isn't writing, Carren Strock is taking photographs, painting, traveling, or spending time with her grandchildren.

The pain and solitude I felt through the years has significantly diminished with reading this book. After falling in love with a married woman, wife and mother like myself, I felt as if I had finally made it home. Due to morals and the pain I knew we were causing our husbands, I chose to end our contact. After doing so, I’d never felt more alone or the depth of pain that I did. It’s easy for our minds to believe that we are the only ones experiencing such a situation when we’re in the depths of the war inside of ourselves, but while reading this book, my fear of myself and who I am is dissolving. It’s a beautiful gift to read women’s stories so closely related to my own. I feel empowered and gained the courage to tell my husband about this book. Not only in hopes of him growing a clearer understanding of who I am and what I’ve been experiencing inside, but for him to have validation of his own feelings on our situation. To see that he is not alone with his feelings and with this experience. That it’s okay to feel anger, sadness, and intolerance of my coming out. He loves me so genuinely and kindly, that he felt it was unloving of him to feel what he felt.
I’m so grateful for this literature, as it gave me faith, hope and courage to live more authentically and freely. It also helped me better understand what my husband may have felt in that moment and what he may still feel today.
I don’t know where this journey of ours will lead, but I’m content and more trusting in the process to unfold exactly how it’s meant to...With Love.

I'm currently reading this book and it's become a precious possession to me. It's fascinating and comforting to know that being married and being attracted to women doesn't not make you the only woman in the world struggling with that situation. It opens up a world of possibiity and options. It also shows how some women take control of their lives and their destinies and how others simply accept a life of hiding and longing. Gives you a lot to think about. If you've managed to look it up or find it...buy it. Don't hesitate. I got mine on kindle so that I could have privacy but you can find ways to be discreet about if you order a physical copy (remove the cover or buy a book cover). Good luck with your journey if you're reading this!

This book was very encouraging for me to read. I recently divorced my husband because I fell deeply in love with a female coworker I had been working with. It was very unexpected and so very exciting at the same time. I have always considered myself to be heterosexual. Never doubted that until now. I look back and see things in my life that may have indicated this might happen but it was still a shock. This book really helped me in my quest to find as much info as I could regarding my situation.

Great book!
It really helped me understand the kinds of things my married girlfriend has to deal with in terms of thinking about her family. It has also helped her see my point of view on things as well.
This is a must read for any woman questioning her sexuality!

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2006
Married with 5 kids, (the two youngest just adopted), I fell in love with this woman... Having a difficult time with my parents accepting my adopted girls... and then, being driven out of the closet by my husband... being threaten by my parents, brothers and ex to loose custody of my kids, I was between hell and heaven beliving I was the only crazy mother going through this... then this book came into my life... it became an embrace... the only shoulder to cry on, my mirrow... where things got into perspective, and I could breath and take a break at last... This book, with all those women sharing deep feelings, became my only support.

I gave it to my mom... she teared it appart as soon as she got it... I bought it again... and lost it (think it was my ex who desapered it)... I bought it once again... an it has remain by my side since.

Being divorced for 5 years now, out to my kids, over two lesbian relationships, this book is still my companion, for I read it to gain more undertanding of myself, and I keep hopping I will find someone to love, someone to become a family whith.

I'm mexican, I live in México city, and still, I was totally reflected in this book.

I'm working in a book of my own so mexican voices can be heard too, and it is obviously dedicated to Carren Strock, for taking the chance, the time, the self imposed dedication... to bring a light to those like her, like me... I'm still crying for what a gift she gave to me, to the world.

I Thank her, for my life is now as wonderfull as It only could get if I stood up to myself, and I would never have done that, if not for the hundred voices that talked to me though this book.
