Hi, all.
I have just submitted Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg to the step one
page. It's in .rtf format. Enjoy. You'll find the synopsis below.
Shannon
Woman or man? That's the question that rages like a storm around Jess
Goldberg, clouding her life and her identity. Growing up differently
gendered in a
blue--collar town in the 1950's, coming out as a butch in the bars and
factories of the prefeminist '60s, deciding to pass as a man in order to
survive
when she is left without work or a community in the early '70s. This
powerful, provocative and deeply moving novel sees Jess coming full circle,
she learns
to accept the complexities of being a transgendered person in a world
demanding simple explanations: a he-she emerging whole, weathering the
turbulence.
