A Short History of Queer Women
Queer women have always existed - let's put them back in the history books No, they weren't 'just friends'! Queer women have been written out of history since, well, forever. 'But historians famously care about women!', said no one. From Anne Bonny and Mary Read who sailed the seas together disguised as pirates, to US football captain Megan Rapinoe declaring 'You can't win a championship without gays on your team', via countless literary salons and tuxedos, A Short History of Queer Women sets the record straight on women who have loved other women through the ages. Who says lesbians can't be funny?

Praise for this book
'I absolutely adored it, quite literally couldn't put it down once I started and devoured it in one sitting. It was heartfelt and hilarious, and full of so much love for, not just all lesbians, but all walks of the LGBT+ community. A real witty sucker-punch of lesbian history - reading it is like uncovering a secret; it's shocking, romantic, infuriating, and all of it clawing at the pages with a need to finally be heard.'--Connie Glyn
'Fast paced, fun, and delightfully filthy.'--Kate Lister
