SUMMARY

This article critiques the historical authentication and political legitimization of exclusively masculinized dyke identities within lesbian subcultures. Seeking to create a new analysis of performative femininity, it explores the specificity of historical and contemporary femme gender transgression and offers positionalities from which to perceive femme practices and identities as politically subversive.
