Fifty Years of Polyamory in America: A Guided Tour of a Growing Movement
Book by Glen Olson and Terry Lee Brussel-Rogers Made it to a Bold Authors Network Lysticle! Glen Olson will join us for our 3-21-26 Live The Dream meeting to tell us all about it.
Fifty Years of Polyamory in America explores how relationship structures and social norms have evolved over the last half-century. Drawing on historical research and cultural analysis, this book examines the development of ethical non-monogamy from its early roots to its present-day visibility.
Rather than advocating a particular lifestyle, the book provides context and invites readers to understand how changing ideas about love, commitment, and personal freedom reflect broader cultural shifts. It challenges assumptions many readers may not even realize they hold, encouraging thoughtful reflection rather than judgment.
For readers interested in social history, psychology, or cultural change, this book offers a lens into how deeply personal choices intersect with collective values. It’s a book that sparks conversation and encourages curiosity about how societies evolve.
“This book explores how changing relationship models reveal deeper shifts in American culture.” – Glen W. Olson
