This call for submissions responds to a distinct underrepresentation of femme identities in contemporary discussions of queer gender and this volume will attempt to connect the past history of femme identities with new and contemporary forms of femme sexual and gender practices. We are putting together an anthology of work by and for young femmes in the hopes of documenting our lives, legitimizing our identities, and sharing our femme energies and passions with the world. 1330 Lincoln Ave., San Jose.
