When I was in graduate school at the University of Memphis, I was fortunate to be able to do some research in the area of the lesbian gender identities butch and femme. I am posting the titles here if anyone is interested in checking any of them out. If you are but are unable to access a copy, let me know and I'll try to set you up.
