Because, and in honour, of the femme-inini-tea party held yesterday at Raw Sugar (the first of many monthly such gatherings -- next one being on my birthday!) I present a list of links on Femme, Femme-ininity and Femme Power.
First, from Leah Lakshmi, because she is Made of Awesome:
The Femme Sharks Manifesto. (Posted at The Femme Show).
Related link: Leah Lakshmi's LJ, specifically a post about What Makes Abusers Change. Not related to femme, but definitely worth reading.
Second, Bookslut offers an entry on reading (books) about femme:
Femmes of Power AND The Book of the Courtesans: A Catalogue of Their Virtues.
Paraphrasing: Beauty is an act that many of these women perform, just one of many acts and gifts that make them alluring, irresistible, powerful, poignant.
Related Link: Visible: A Femmethology.
Third, from Musings from an Amused Muse:
Femme Manifesto.
Fourth: Femmecast! -- A queer-femme online podcast program. Go listen.
Fifth: The Femme's Guide to Absolutely Everything -- [A] sex-positive femme queer collaborative blog meant to be a fun, enjoyable, educational, and sometimes snarky look at femmeininity and femme culture. We aim to create a resource for the online femme community, where femmes can gain helpful information about navigating in this world as a femme, learn about the way others view their femme identity, and come to a greater understanding of their own femme identity. (From the website).
Sixth: The Queer Fat Femme Guide to Life
Why Queer Fat Femme?
I believe in the power of community to bring strength to marginalized identity. I believe in giving power to that identity. I believe claiming what has kept you down in the past as your own is part of the journey to loving yourself and making your own path. (From the website).
Seventh: The Fierce Femmes LJ Community.
Eighth: Femmes Fight Back -- a travelling, interactive installation made to honor all feminine resistance, focusing on queer folks and agitators for liberation and justice across the board. (From the website).
AND
Two Books that Changed My Life:
Brazen Femme
Whipping Girl
- TTFN,
- Amazon.
