What Makes Lesbian Art Lesbian? A Roundtable Conversation.
Join Sinister Wisdom and Charis Books and More for a discussion and reading of Drastic Dykes and Accidental Activists: Queer Women in the Urban South. Author La Shonda Mims will be in conversation with Julie R. Enszer. Uniting southern women's history with urban history, La Shonda Mims considers an imaginatively constructed archive including feminist newsletters and queer bar guides alongside sources revealing corporate boosterism and political rhetoric to explore the complex nature of lesbian life in the South. Mims's work reveals significant differences between gay men's and lesbian women's lived experiences, with lesbians often missing out on the promises of prosperity that benefitted some members of gay communities. This event will take place on Charis Books and More's Crowdcast Platform.
Join us for a discussion of This Unlikely Soil, including a special 30 minutes with the author Andrea Routley! This Unlikely Soil is a quintet of linked novellas exploring the failures of kindness and connection among a rural west coast community of queer women.
