Femme: Feminists, Lesbians and Bad Girls

editors by Laura Harris and Elizabeth Crocker

Femme seeks to redress the ways that femme identities have been elided, idealized, or not fully historicized in a productive reconsideration of lesbian and butch-femme history, of feminism, and of queer thought. As a feminist project, Femme offers an alliance between many communities of women previously passed over by feminism.
