Now You See Her - Anne Cremieux - Bog

""Over the past thirty years, queer women have been coming out of the media closet to more significantly enter the mainstream consciousness. This book explores the rise of lesbian visibility since the 1990s with in-depth historical analyses of representation in sports, music, photography, comics, television and cinema. Each chapter is complemented by an interview: soccer player and coach Saskia Webber, singer-songwriter Gretchen Phillips, photographer Lola Flash, cartoonist Alison Bechdel and filmmakers Jamie Babbit and Anna Margarita Albelo, discuss the societal transformations that shaped their careers. From the "riot grrrl" movement of the early 1990s punk scene to screen representations of queer culture (The L Word, Orange is the New Black), this book discusses how lesbian presence successfully infiltrated several patriarchal strongholds, and was transformed in return."-Provided by publisher"--
