This novelbased on the author's real-life experiencesis credited as the first candidly lesbian novel, originally published in 1950, that scandalized mid-century America (The New York Times).
As the Blitz rains down over London, taboos are broken, affairs start and stop, and hearts are won and lost.
This account of life among female Free French soldiers in a London barracks during World War II sold four million copies in the United States alone and many more worldwide. Women's Barracks was banned for obscenity in several states and denounced by the House Select Committee on Current Pornographic Materials in 1952 as an example of how the paperback industry was promoting moral degeneracy. In spite of such effortsor perhaps, in part, because of themthe novel became a record-breaking bestseller and inspired a whole new genre: lesbian pulp.
Femmes Fatales restores to print the best of women's writing in the classic pulp genres of the mid-20th century. From mystery to hard-boiled noir to taboo lesbian romance, these rediscovered queens of pulp offer subversive perspectives on a turbulent era.
