Women in the Shadows

Meer over het boek

Exploring complex themes of identity and societal norms, this lesbian pulp fiction novel delves into the blurred lines between heroes and villains. Set against the backdrop of the late 1950s, it addresses controversial topics like interracial relationships, domestic violence, and self-loathing related to race and sexuality. Bannon's own marital frustrations inform the narrative, making it a deeply personal work. As the third installment in "The Beebo Brinker Chronicles," it stands out for its provocative content, despite being the most controversial of the series.
