More about the book

Exploring the history of female same-sex intimacy in France, Tamara Chaplin highlights its significance in the broader context of 20th-century public life. Utilizing diverse sources like cabaret culture and early Internet, along with over 100 interviews, she examines how women defined their identities as lesbians and formed "counterpublics" that challenged dominant societal norms. With vivid portraits of cabaret figures and activists, the work offers crucial insights into politics, citizenship, and the evolution of gender and sexual rights in modern France.
