This post details the conflicts between lesbian-feminism and an emerging bisexual political identity but it also references some great literature on lesbianism, lesbian-feminism, and bisexuality. The author of that post, @scissortailedsaint, also uploaded some lecture notes on lesbianism here. Tree is also the one who posts a lot of great links, pdf’s, and quotes in general, and has a blog about lbpq women, bisexuality, and feminism at @woman-loving. 

Bi women pursing/dating/engaged/married to women can do that Because they are bi! Being bi isn’t always a stepping stone and the bi women who continue to identify as bi while dating women aren’t hindering themselves or leaving themselves open to dating men in the future.
