The foundational femme anthology Brazen Femme: Queering Femininity was published in 2002. Editors Chloë Brushwood Rose and Anna Camilleri curated a collection of prose, poetry, visual art, and theory that explored femme on its own terms and brought us new, complex understandings of femme experience that changed the conversation about queer femininities. Twenty years later, emerging writers and scholars talk to original contributors to the anthology about femme's past, present, and future.

Still Brazen Episode 3: “Being a Good Erotic Citizen": Kathryn Payne and Sarah York-Bertram in Conversation about Sex Worker-Femme Solidarities and Sex Work Activism in Canada

In this episode, Kathryn Payne and Sarah York-Bertram revisit Payne's piece in Brazen Femme titled "Whores and Bitches Who Sleep With Women." They discuss: femme culture in the '90s and early aughts as it intersected with sex work and kink cultures and communities; sex work activism and histories in Canada; and making sex work visible within educational institutions.
