The way we dress can show or hide who we are; make us fit in, make us stand out, or make our own community. Yet lesbian fashion has been strangely overlooked. What secrets can it reveal about the lives and status of queer women through the ages?The lesbian past is slippery: often deliberately hidden, edited or left unrecorded.Unsuitablerestores to history the dazzlingly varied clothes worn by women who love women, from top hats to violet tiaras. This story spans centuries and countries, from Gentleman Jack in nineteenth-century Yorkshire and Queen Christina of seventeenth-century Sweden, to Paris modernism, genderqueer Berlin, butch/femme bar culture and gay rights activistsvia drag kings,Vogueeditors and the Harlem Renaissance.This book is a kaleidoscope of the margins and the mainstream, celebrating trans lesbian style, Black lesbian style, and gender nonconformity. You dont have to be queer or fashionable to be enthralled by this hidden history.Unsuitablelights it up for the world to see, in all its finery.
