Femmes of Power features both everyday heroines and many queer feminist icons, including Michelle Tea, Virginie Despentes, Amber Hollibaugh, Marla Stewart, Lydia Lunch, Kate Bornstein, and Lois Weaver. The first book of its kind, Femmes of Power unsettles the objectifying male gaze on femininity and presents femmes as speaking subject
