The Girls in 3-B (Femmes Fatales: Women Write Pulp)by Valerie Taylor
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Annice, Pat, and Barby are best friends from Iowa, freshly arrived in booming 1950s Chicago to explore different paths toward independence, self--expression, and sexual freedom. From the hip-hang of a bohemian lifestyle to the sophisticated lure of romance with a handsome, wealthy, married boss to the happier security of a lesbian relationship, these three experience firsthand the dangers and limitations of women's economic -reliance on men. Well-known lesbian pulp author Valerie Taylor skillfully paints a sociological portrait of the emotional and economic pitfalls of heterosexuality in 1950s America-and then offers a defiantly subversive alternative. A classic pulp tale showcasing predatory beatnik men, drug hallucinations, and secret lesbian trysts, The Girls in 3-Bapproaches the theme of sex from the stiffened vantage point of 1950s psychology. About the AuthorValerie Taylor is the pen name of Velma Young, born 1913 in Aurora, Illinois. After working as a teacher from 1937 to 1940, she married, had three sons, and then divorced. She began publishing in order to support her children. Whisper Their Love (1957) was her first lesbian novel. She published poetry under the name Nacella Young and romances under the name Francine Davenport. ALisa Walker, associate professor of English at the University of Southern Maine, is the author of Looking Like What You Are: Sexual Style, Race, and Lesbian Identity.
