Le génie lesbien
Alice Coffin
Alice Coffin brings her experience as a journalist and activist into an argument about lesbian visibility. She examines the media, power relations and the place given to women.
Why it belongs here
For entering the subject through a personal, politically engaged voice. The book takes a position rather than attempting a neutral survey.
Before choosing
Read it alongside Quouïr to compare an activist essay with documentary accounts. The contrast is useful: one develops a personal argument while the other gives different people time to recount their own experiences.
