Unsuitable : a history of lesbian fashion

Medhurst, Eleanor, author2024English
The way we dress can show or hide who we are; make us fit in, make us stand out, or make our own community. Yet 'lesbian fashion' has been strangely overlooked. What secrets can it reveal about the lives and status of queer women through the ages? The lesbian past is slippery - often deliberately hidden, edited or left unrecorded. This story spans centuries and countries, from 'Gentleman Jack' in nineteenth-century Yorkshire and Queen Christina of seventeenth-century Sweden, to Paris modernism, genderqueer Berlin, butch/femme bar culture and gay rights activists - via drag kings, Vogue editors and the Harlem Renaissance.
