To love it is to embrace love for women (be they butch or not) in the broadest sense. In \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eFemmephilia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Sophie Lewis makes the case for the vital importance of politicized femme-ness: a feminism that is self-consciously artificial, extravagant in its erotic and political appetites, and staunchly anti-work, abolitionist, and utopian. Femme labors deserve our care, respect, and support, but instead face dismissal from masculinist antagonists and feminist allies alike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhere neoliberal women’s empowerment has failed to combat the eruption of right-wing, anti-trans, and anti-feminist attacks, Lewis argues that femmephilia can help us imagine a radical future. In essays on the high femme genius of Marilyn Monroe and trans yearning in the myth of Apollo and Daphne; on octopuses and girlbosses, reluctant heterosexuals, lesbian separatists, and anti-work cats; and on a mother on strike from maternity, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eFemmephilia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e offers a new logic of liberation for all feminized people.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLGBT Themes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSapphic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTransgender\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelevant Tags:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eNon Fiction, Memoir, Essays, Love LEtter, Transgender, Trans, Queer, LGBT, Sapphic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Queer Boekenkast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53278009819483,"sku":null,"price":22.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/4905\/5835\/files\/Product_1_42b6b10f-b5b3-43bd-83cd-74e0c56fae82.jpg?v=1780573124","url":"https:\/\/www.dequeerboekenkast.nl\/products\/lewis-sophie-femmephilia","provider":"De Queer Boekenkast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
