Femmephilia

by Sophie Lewis

Haymarket Books · 2026 · 272 pages

This collection celebrates the power and politics of femme identity, arguing that embracing and loving femme-ness is crucial for a radical, life-affirming feminism. Sophie Lewis explores how femme expression, often dismissed and devalued, holds the key to liberation, particularly for trans individuals and marginalized mothers. Through essays that weave together pop culture icons, mythological figures, and everyday acts of resistance, Lewis crafts a visionary and joyous manifesto for a future where all feminized people can thrive.
