Krieger explores how she and her partner confront both the inner challenges of their relationship and the invisibility of lesbian identity in the larger world. \u003cp\u003eUsing a lively novelistic and autoethnographic approach that toggles back and forth in time, Krieger reflects on the evolution of her forty-year relationship. She describes building a life together, from sharing pets and travels to getting married.\u003ci\u003e Are You Two Sisters?\u003c\/i\u003e addresses not only questions of gender and sexuality, but also of disability, as Krieger explores how the couple adapts to her increasing blindness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKrieger's title comes from a question asked by a stranger outside a remote desert bar as she and her partner traveled in the Southwest. Her apprehension about answering that question suggests how, even after the legalization of gay marriage, lesbianism often remains hidden--an observation that makes Krieger's poignant narrative all the more moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Krieger \u003c\/b\u003eis a sociologist, writer, and Research Fellow at the Clayman Institute for Gender Research, Stanford University.
