Jeunes filles en serre chaude
Following "Burnt Offering" (1929) and "Les Démons de la solitude" (1931), it is the third novel by Galzy (this one with a "seductive title") to explore lesbian desire. The intergenerational love in the novel (between a teacher, Gladys Benz, and a student, Isabelle, told from Isabelle's point of view) is likewise a reflection of Galzy's own experiences. The school was reputed to be a "breeding ground of homosexual relationship", and had earlier been the subject of a novel exploring same-sex desire, "Les Sévriennes" (1900) by Gabrielle Reval. Like most of Galzy's  novels, "" is neglected by modern readers, though it did attract some attention at the time of publication. A French reviewer remarked that the novel shows that "overworked brains" sometimes fall prey to "dangerous aberrations". A brief note in "The Modern Language Journal" remarked that "trivial but intensely human emotional reactions are realistically depicted", and the 1935 "New International Year Book" warned that the students depicted in the book have a "strong emotional reaction of an undesirable nature". The book is no longer in print; passages from it were anthologized in a 1985 collection of erotic women's literature. Jeunes filles
