Description

An undeniably celebratory and deeply troubling manifesto for the unrepentant bitch, this sharp-edged collection (of fiction, prose poetry, personal essays, photographs and illustrations) recognises femme as an identity in flux and in motion. Such critically acclaimed writers as Camilla Gibb, Sky Gilbert, Michelle Tea, Amber Hollibaugh and Anurima Banerji unapologetically refuse definitions while exploring their desire to make femininity fit their own queer frames. Darlings, drag queens, whores and action heroes...a femme by any other name is spectacular.
