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!

Ana Castillo's Massacre of the Dreamers is phenomenal. Highly recommend it for anyone interested in Chicana/Xicana feminism.

I really appreciate that she digs much deeper than European-introduced patriarchal religion as the source of sexism and machismo; she goes back thousands of years to pre-Conquest society.

It's a little depressing to know just how long women have been subjugated, especially since there's this myth of tons of matriarchal societies in the pre-Columbian era, but I think it's important to understand.
