This book examines life trajectories among three categories of women living beyond the bounds of heteronormativity in Jakarta and Delhi: women who have lost their husbands, either through divorce or death; sex workers; and young, urban lesbians. By charting the lives of women who live beyond the boundaries of the heteronormative, commonalities are revealed, boundaries are delineated, and the issue of the struggle for sexual rights for marginalized groups, and their open rebellion, brought to the fore.
