"What compels people to get married? Can women hold true to feminist values when they commit to their partners? How can we build on the past to continue to redefine marriage for the future? Rachel E. Lennon interweaves her personal experiences of marriage with stories and anecdotes from throughout history as she explore how marriage has transformed and what it might look like in the future."--Jacket.

"Rachael Lennon is a writer and curator with particular interest in exploring LGBTQ+ and women's histories. Based in Newcastle University, Rachael founded the National Trust's revisionist Challenging Histories programme, which Clare Balding claimed 'will change the way history is written and thought about from this point onwards'. Having grown up understanding that marriage was only for a man and a woman, she married her wife Claire in Northumberland in 2017 - just three years after the legalisation of same-sex marriage in the UK." --Jacket.
