To love it is to embrace love for women (be they butch or not) in the broadest sense. In \u003cem\u003eFemmephilia\u003c\/em\u003e, Sophie Lewis makes the case for the vital importance of politicized femme-ness: a feminism that is self-consciously artificial, extravagant in its erotic and political appetites, and staunchly anti-work, abolitionist, and utopian. Femme labors deserve our care, respect, and support, but instead face dismissal from masculinist antagonists and feminist allies alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere neoliberal women's empowerment has failed to combat the eruption of right-wing, anti-trans, and anti-feminist attacks, Lewis argues that femmephilia can help us imagine a radical future. In essays on the high femme genius of Marilyn Monroe and trans yearning in the myth of Apollo and Daphne; on octopuses and girlbosses, reluctant heterosexuals, lesbian separatists, and anti-work cats; and on a mother on strike from maternity, \u003cem\u003eFemmephilia\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new logic of liberation for \u003cem\u003eall\u003c\/em\u003e feminized people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftcover, 346 pages, by Sophie Lewis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"toc\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"key\"\u003eTable of Content\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"toc\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"key\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWhat does \"femme\" mean, and how is it different from femininity?
