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 4: “‘I Don’t Want to Be Pretty, But I Do Want to Be Brown’: Anurima Banerji and Jade Da Costa in Conversation about Constructing South Asian Femme-ness through Poetry”

In this episode, Dr. Anurima Banerji and Dr. Jade Crimson Rose Da Costa revisit Banerji’s poems “Ephemera” and “Summer, Or I Want the Rage of Poets to Bleed Guns Speechless with Words” from Brazen Femme as well as a piece of Da Costa’s creative non-fiction titled “Motherland.” They discuss: South Asian femme identity, decolonial politics, and the possibility that poetry can bring it all together.
