From mystery to hard-boiled noir to taboo lesbian romance, these rediscovered queens of pulp offer subversive perspectives on a turbulent era. This is the true-life story of what happens when scores of young girls live intimately together in a French military barracks. Women’s Barracks was banned for obscenity in several states and denounced by the House Select Committee on Current Pornographic Materials in 1952 as an example of how the paperback industry was “promoting moral degeneracy.” In spite of such efforts-or perhaps, in part, because of them-the novel became a record-breaking bestseller and inspired a whole new genre: lesbian pulp.įemmes Fatales restores to print the best of women’s writing in the classic pulp genres of the mid-20th century. As the Blitz rains down over London, taboos are broken, affairs start and stop, and hearts are won and lost. The novel is based on the real-life experiences of the author, Tereska Torres. Originally published in 1950, this account of life among female Free French soldiers in a London barracks during World War II sold four million copies in the United States alone and many more worldwide. It is thought to be the first Lesbian pulp novel. Publisher: Gold Medal 132 Year: 1951 Print: 7 Cover Price: $ ![]()
