Persistence: All Ways Butch and Femme - Tapa blanda

"Reading "Persistence" is like attending a dinner party with people you never got the chance to talk to beforefascinating, brave, insightful peoplesome of whom are very well known and others are simply the people you want to get to know. All of them talk frankly and with genuine courage about what it means to live outside the norms of society." Dorothy Allison
"The rowdy, queer contributors to "Persistence" address the immediate, often loaded, topic of butch-femme from every angle, confirming once again just how central this label-and-experience is to queer history. "Persistence" excels in the extreme sport of queer truth-telling, thanks to its ambitious editors Ivan E. Coyote and Zena Sharman. The book feels fresh and radical throughout." "Lambda Literary"
"A new collection of essays exploring the funny, messy, confusing, contradictory, liberating, confining, wet wild ride of gender from a powerhouse cross-section of the queer world s smartest and sexiest writers, poets, musicians, activists and scholars." "Autostraddle"
"Touching on a wide range of colors in the prism of butch and femme sexuality and identity, this compilation is indispensable to the lesbian community as an emblem of how far the female gay community has come, and in what direction their mighty assembly is headed." "Bay Area Reporter"
"A collection of pieces that refutes the idea that butch and femme identities are outdated, and asserts the timelessness and importance of their vibrancy and complexity." "Bitch"
