A queer girl who loves to dress up? Think again! Going beyond identity politics and the pleasures of plumage, &#8220;Femmes of Power&#8221; captures a diverse range of queerly feminine subjects whose powerful and intentional redress explodes the meaning of femme for the 21st century.&#8221;Femmes of Power&#8221; features both every-day heroines and many queer feminist icons, including Michelle Tea, Virginie Despentes, Amber Hollibaugh, Itziar Ziga, Lydia Lunch, Kate Bornstein and Valerie Mason-John.&#8221;Femmes of Power&#8221; unsettles the objectifying &#8220;male&#8221; gaze on femininity and presents femmes as speaking subjects and high heeled theorists.
