Stone Butch Blues

Stone Butch Blues

Leslie Feinberg

1993, Firebrand Books

301 Pages


From the Cover

Woman or man? That's the question that rages like a storm around Jess Goldberg, clouding her life and her identity.

Growing up differently gendered in a blue-collar town in the 1950s. Coming out as a butch in the bars and factories of the prefeminist '60s. Deciding to pass as a man in order to survive when she is left without work or a community in the early '70s.

This powerful, provocative, and deeply moving novel sees Jess coming full circle, learning to accept the complexities of being a transgendered person in a world demanding simple explanations: a he-she emerging whole, weathering the turbulence.

Winner 1994 Lambda Literary Award (Small Press Book) and
1994 American Library Association Lesbian/Gay Book Award (Fiction)
