Gladys Bentley

Gladys Bentley was a black lesbian singer in the roaring '20s. The zine talks about her marriage to a woman, her male-presenting style, and how changing politics affected her radical outspokenness as a woman. The series itself is a collection of hand-drawn and written mini zines that document the lives of famous lesbians across the world. The first volume is about musicians.
