    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In challenging the opprobrious history of misogyny within visual art and broader culture, feminist critics can at times dismiss the delights of femininity itself. As independent scholar Sophie Lewis puts it, “when certain feminists first turned against girly things, it was a giant error in Western women’s liberation history.” Lewis’s new book Femmephilia: Love Letters to Trans Mermaids, Queer Mothers, and Marilyn Monroe (2026) aims to redress the strains of feminism that frame adornment as inher
