The Femme MystiqueLesléa Newman "Written by femmes, former femmes, femme wanna-bes, femme admirers, and, of course, femme fatales, The Femme Mystique offers a fascinating look at the world of femme identity within the lesbian community. Through poetry, essays, short fiction, and photography, The Femme Mystique reveals and celebrates the world of lipstick and lingerie, while providing insight into this newly mainstreamed style of lesbian self-expression."--Page [4] of cover. |
