Carren Strock Has Been Married To Her Husband For 50+ Years, She’s Also A Lesbian

Listen to Sophie's bonus episode taking you through what to expect when having sex with a woman for the first time.

Carren Strock was 43 when she attended a local book club and met the woman who left her with a life changing questions... "is it her, or am I a lesbian."

The author and pioneer went on to write one of the most prolific pieces of queer literature, a groundbreaking book called Married Women Who Love Women, first published in the 1990's and now in it's third edition.

The book started as a way for Carren to feel less alone, and it has helped thousands of people feel the same around the world.
