Note: I’ve been informed that one of my sources, the author of Female Masculinity, goes by Jack Halberstam now! The paper I referenced includes his deadname on it as it was published beforehand. My apologies, I wish I could edit the video itself.

After WW1, a vibrant underground community of Sapphic women found community together in Paris. Come learn with me about the big names, their favorite haunts, and the queer history that led there!
