Submitted by Julie on Thu, 04/25/2013 - 15:14

Sinister Wisdom contributor, Sandra Langer, is fundraising for her new book on Romaine Brooks, All or Nothing: The Many Faces of Romaine Brooks. The book is an exciting new reading of the oh-so glamorous life of one of the most transgressive sublimely opinionated gay figures of the 20th century. Think K.D. Lang meets I Kissed A Girl. Sandra reexamines Brooks’ hot gender-bender romances with Winnaretta Singer, Renée Vivien, Gabriele D’Annunzio, Ida Rubenstein, and Natalie Barney.

Sandra is raising money to include 24 black and white photos in the book which will be published by University of Wisconsin Press. If you would like to learn more about the book and the fundraising campaign, click over to:
