I love the articles she writes! Thanks for sharing.
Most notable of all of my pet peeves is when historians as she described, write off lesbians in history as just “being gal pals”, especially in autobiographical work like the Stein and Toklas story. It’s not only erasure, but also extremely disrespectful! Only goes to illustrate that publishers (and companies) like Penguin only see us as a money grab and actually don’t care about publishing proper lesbian representation or acknowledgement.
This circle is for discussing books of any kind, regardless of genre or subject. Share a book you’ve recently read, request recommendations, post articles about books or authors, share photos of your bookshelves.
Our goal is to encourage reading books of all kinds, and to be a place for open and civil discussion about any book or author. Whether you read occasionally or every day, whatever your reading tastes and opinions, we hope you will join in and support other members.
Use the appropriate flair (post and add afterwards) and use the NSFW option if applicable. No books are prohibited here, but please be mindful of the Ovarit Sitewide Rules when discussing challenging or controversial content.
If your post reveals details of the plot of a recently published book, consider adding “Spoilers” to the subject and in your post. Spoilers aren’t required for older books or very well-known by most people.
If you want to discuss feminist books, please visit /o/FeministBooks.
