Description
A Short History of Queer Women by Kirsty Loehr Queer women have been erased from history, but their stories are finally being told. From the 17th-century pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read, to contemporary sports stars like Megan Rapinoe, this book sets the record straight on women who have loved other women throughout the ages. With a keen eye for the overlooked and the underrepresented, Loehr brings to life the lives of these women, revealing the complexities and nuances of their experiences. This is a history that challenges the notion that lesbian lives are somehow less worthy of recognition. Instead, it celebrates the diversity and richness of queer women's experiences, past and present.
