As she launches a new book of feminist essays, psychoanalyst Susie Orbach explains why a strong mother figure predisposes a woman to be gay ....

To embark on a lesbian relationship in one’s sixties, after almost 40 years of a heterosexual partnership (and two grown-up children), would constitute a remarkable development for most women. In Susie Orbach’s world view, however, the change of sexual orientation is simply another stage in our evolution: foetus, puberty, childbirth, menopause, post-heterosexual, death… It is a measure of Orbach’s strength of personality that I sit before her, in the book-lined, light-filled consulting room, accepting this thesis. I don’t bat an eyelid when Orbach argues defiantly that: “As a theorist of women’s psychology, it’s always perplexed me how heterosexuality happens.”

I am a ware of numerous instances of older, often married women, taking up with another woman later in life - everyone from female ministers of the cloth to the ex wife of an Australian prime minister to the sister of the current conservative opposition leader.
