Femme: Feminists, Lesbians, and Bad Girls

Summary: Why Buy It? Because I said so!
Review: Feminists, Lesbians, and Bad Girls alike will enjoy this book whether or not they identify as Femme. This text serves to focus attention on Femme issues and could be of use to anyone - queer, questioning, straight, etc. who is searching for a broader understanding of the topic. By that same token, it could also be a good resource for butches who are in need of a little "schooling" (you know we love you!). While I preferred the less academic contributions, the text in its entirety would be an excellent addition to any Lesbian or Women Studies class. I appreciate the editors efforts to include voices from diverse backgrounds, styles, and perspectives. I especially liked the contributions of Gaby Sandoval and Lisa Ortiz who used a more narrative, casual style and spoke of personal experiences. It is always a pleasure to read works by well-known authors, yet it is important for new voices to have a venue in which to be heard. Harris and Crocker have done a fine job mixing such a wide variety of styles. This book has something to offer everyone and is a must for Lesbian/Gay collectors.

Summary: 80 dollars??????
Review: Why is this book 80 dollars? I saw it in the LesbianNation and decided to order. Can't figure this out at all...no matter how good it is, I don't think I will be paying 80 bucks for it.
