I’m going to check this out. Sounds good! Also if you have any other good lesbian romances to recommend (especially butch/femme ones) please let me know.

Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney

The inspiration and titular character of Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk is modeled after real-life ad copywriter and poet, Margaret Fishback. Lillian Boxfish author Kathleen Rooney offers us a fascinating glimpse of a woman who was far ahead of her time, taking to print to declare that she didn't need a husband to support her. Starting out as a school teacher, Fishback took on a job at the lower rungs of copywriting at the prestigious department store R. H. Macy's (today referred to simply as Macy's) but quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming chief copywriter. She was a highly paid woman in the advertising world of the 1930s, a time when the Great Depression firmly had its grip over the United States.

It just arrived yesterday, so hopefully I'll start it soon!

I started it and am enjoying it, but during this upheaval I must admit I have trouble concentrating!

I'm enjoying it very much and for some reason the narrator's voice puts me in mind of Mad Men's Peggy Olson reflecting on her career and telling her story at 85............

I finished this book today and enjoyed it immensely!

My regret is never having been to NYC so I could of visualized the streets and areas she come across on her 3 miles plus walk on New Years Eve.

Chea Villanueva's Bulletproof Butches has been helping me get through quarantine. I love how proudly butch the author is and the frankness with which she writes lesbian desire.

Almost very single character is a butch or femme!

It's also cool that she focuses exclusively on the experiences of women of color, particularly Filipina butches and femmes. I feel it definitely fills a void in the B/F literary cannon.

Clementine, if you're a television viewer check out Vida on the STARZ network. It"s a drama series about two Mexican-American siblings, one a lesbian the other not, from East Los Angeles. Pretty good stuff!
