Description: Mr. Elvis writes about and draws late 19th century sexologists and the harmful effects of their so-called research, particularly on lesbians and other queer women. The minicomic addresses changes in perceptions of Victorian-era romantic friendships, the invented relationship between political power and masculine women used by the anti-suffrage movement, and notions of eugenics held and reinforced by the sexologists. There is a list of book sources. The zine was made as part of the spring 2015 "Lesbian Lives" class at the Lesbian Herstory Archives ("Lesbo Class").
