In this personal, vivid book brimming with 21st century queerness, journalist Daisy Jones explores contemporary lesbian and bi culture.
Filled with Jones's own experience and insightful interviews, the book traverses wlw club nights, what a TikTok lesbian is and how to dress like one, how queer style has spilled into mainstream fashion, lesbian representation in film and TV, queer women's music, and Cate Blanchett.
This book is a slice of history, and you'll find yourself with a whole lot of new viewing and listening recommendations, and a new appreciation for how expansive modern queer women's culture is.
To give you a whirlwind tour of this expansive book, Daisy Jones joins Christina Neuwirth!
