This Month’s Book:

Stone Butch Blues

by Leslie Feinberg

1993, 286 pages

We see the world through the eyes of Jess Goldberg, a masculine girl growing up in the McCarthy era and coming out as a young butch lesbian in the pre-Stonewall gay drag bars of a blue-collar town. Stone Butch Blues evokes history and politics while portraying an extraordinary protagonist full of longing, vulnerability, and working-class grit.
