I myself have written a book in this series which is all the Violet Tiaras queering the Greek myths which is essentially all about the popularity and significant of queer retellings and reimaginings of Greek mythology in the 21st century

Loved it

it's a really interesting book because it brings together myths you maybe never connected before parts of ancient history you may be never connected before about technology through this lens and I also think it reminds us of some of the incredible Innovations that came out of antiquity

so this book is one in that subcategory that I think is incredibly powerful but which has the specific you know Niche or the specific perspective of looking at Women's prisons ... then I think this is very important reading

an article about a book called Lolly Willows by Sylvia tones and Warner which I then read after reading this article became obsess with and have put in every single video since you can see how much of an influence this has had on me

if you like that show you need to read this book even if you're just more generally interested in depictions of like supportive queer positive Dynamics in media then you'll probably still get something from this book it is so wonderful

this has to be one of my favorite books by her because it really Taps into to a very specific experience I think a lot of you watching now will be able to relate to ... honestly fantastic could not recommend it more highly regardless of what your gender identity is or how you are in these spaces
