Riassunto

What is femme? French for woman? A feminine lesbian? A queer girl in a frock? Going beyond identity politics and the pleasures of plumage, Femmes of Power is a photographic tribute to a diverse range of queerly feminine subjects whose powerful and intentional redress explodes the meaning of femme.
Featuring essays and portraits of everyday heroines and queer feminist icons, including Michelle Tea, Virginie Despentes, Pratibha Parmar, Amber Hollibaugh, Itziar Ziga, Kato Bornstein and Valerie Mason-John, Femmes of Power replaces femme invisibility with a fresh new face for femme-inism.
