I had read her first book, Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity back when it came out, and thought it was totally mind-blowing and soRead More

Nicole reviews Amara’s Daughter by E H Howard
For my first book review for the Lesbrary, I decided to go with a fantasy novel called Amara’s Daughter by EH Howard. I have a soft spot for fantasy, especially the kind of female-warrior-turned-hero that Tamora Pierce captivated me with as a child. How great it would be, I thought, to read a lesbian strongRead More
Lena reviews “Prairie Women in Love” and “Dames with Dames” by Rachel Windsor
Both “Prairie Women in Love” and “Dames with Dames,” by Rachel Windsor, are part of a series about lesbians through the ages. “Written by lesbians for lesbians,” the tagline proudly proclaims.

Jordan reviews Nevada by Imogen Binnie
If there is anything we need more of, it is trans* literature, or pretty much any books falling under that such umbrella term. But as the years go on we start to see more and more. Even so, books like Nevada or Luna, are still quite literally a rare treat, because I can actually countRead More
