Daisy Jones Books

A modern, personal guide to the culture of queer women and everyone in between, this exploration delves into the nature of 21st-century queerness. Journalist Daisy Jones unpacks outdated stereotypes, illustrating how lesbian and bi culture has evolved and gradually influenced the mainstream. The narrative shifts from traditional images to a celebration of freedom, expression, and community. From the underground clubs of east London to the realms of TikTok, Daisy examines what it means to be lesbian or bi today while honoring the past. The book addresses the ongoing process of coming out, the complexities of dating as a queer woman, and the transformation of nightlife spaces into online communities. It also highlights the mental health challenges that disproportionately affect LGBTQ+ individuals. With a blend of personal insight and journalistic rigor, Daisy presents a cohesive image that shows being lesbian, bi, or anything in between transcends gender, sexual practice, or romantic attraction. Through interviews and lived experiences, Daisy employs verve, humor, and sharp prose to create a vital and insightful portrait of queer womanhood in 2021.

"Have you heard the one about the Welsh farmer called Dai? If you have, then it was probably about that popular Cockney-turned-Cardi, Dai Jones, Llanilar." "In his autobiography, the farmer, singer and television presenter celebrates a life led to the full on humble homesteads and concert stages the world over. It is a life that has seen him star at the National Eisteddfod, the Royal Smithfield Show and the International Sheepdog Trials. Indeed, his dedication to all that is best in Welsh rural life was marked during the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show's centenary celebrations when he received the Sir Brynner Jones Memorial Award for his contribution to Welsh agriculture." "First published in Welsh, by popular demand it has now been translated and adapted by writer and broadcaster Lyn Ebeneser, another whose roots are deep in the soil of Cardiganshire."--Jacket
