  • Life & Times of Butch Dykes, The: Portraits of Artists, Leaders, and Dreamers Who Changed The World

Life & Times of Butch Dykes, The: Portraits of Artists, Leaders, and Dreamers Who Changed The World Kindle Edition

by Eloisa Aquino (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (11)
Portraits of women throughout history who have defied society's expectations of feminine behavior and appearance in order to live a more authentic life. These short vignettes combine biographical sketches with evocative illustrations for an impact that is as bold, powerful, and inspirational as the brilliant artists, writers, and musicians they represent. The notable people profiled in this book include Audre Lorde (activist and poet), JD Sampson (artist, and musician known for Le Tigre and MAN), Jenny Shimizu (model and actress), Claude Cahun (photographer, performer, and writer who defied all gender expectations and wasn't any gender), Esther Eng (director), Gladys Bentley (singer and performer), Gertrude Stein (author and poet), Martina Navratilova (tennis champion), and Gloria Anzaldúa (scholar). Author and artist Eloisa Aquino presents these icons against heteronormativity in a good-humored homage, showing how the courage to be true to yourself can spark the sort of work that changes the world.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Book
    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2020
    Format: Kindle
    I backed this from a Kickstarter in 2018 or 2019, thinking it was interesting. It's about women who don't fit the typical mold of feminine, pretty women, and the affect they had on culture and history. It's an art book, like others I've read, and the art is neat. I really enjoyed it.
    It's a quick, easy read, with lots of women that I've either never heard of, or only heard of in passing. So I really enjoyed reading it.
