Such a fun good read. As a baby butch it was always important for me to reconnect with the history of LGBT people. The book makes sure to not only center cishetero white abled writers, which I appreciate, as someone who is none of those.
The short stories were a therapeutic read for me, the relationships between butches and femmes warmed my hard.In one story, a Femme described perfectly the isolation my attraction to woman caused me after I started presenting as incredibly masculine. My heart goes out to all the femme gays who feel isolated in their own community.
