Through essays, short stories, and poems, Swagger documents the butch experience by highlighting butch stories and butch voices, which often go unheard or are misunderstood. Books can be mirrors and windows—reflecting our lives back to us or opening them up to others. The writers featured in the pages inside have bravely shared their stories and their hearts with the intent that this anthology be both.
Rae Theodore lives in Royersford, Pa., with her wife, children and, in stereotypical fashion, her cats. By day, she works as a staff writer for one of the world's largest communications firms. By night, she writes about living in that middle place where boy and girl collide. Her favorite day of the week is Tuesday because that's when her writers' group meets. You can read about her adventures in gender nonconformity at middleagebutch.wordpress.com.
A beautiful collection of stories sharing the first-hand experiences of women who have struggled to find their place in this world. Each is told with raw honesty and a depth of sincerity that melts the heart. A true celebration of the women we are :)
