29. Tirza True Latimer, Lecturer in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and History of Art.

In Women Together Women Apart: Portraits of Lesbian Paris, Latimer explores the tumultuous period between World War I and World War II when women artists working in Paris and other European capitals began to shape the first visual models defining lesbianism as a category of social subjectivity. Their self-representations in visual culture served as sites of both identity formation and community formation enabling women who refused to assume the mantle of conventional femininity to recognize themselves and each other.
