  • More about Different from the Others: German and Dutch Discourses of Queer Femininity and Female Desire, 1918-1940

Different from the Others recovers the submerged history of queer feminine women in Germany and the Netherlands, offering a theoretical analysis that makes key empirical contributions to the history of Dutch gays and lesbians while reframing our collective understanding of queer femininity more broadly.

Format: Hardback
Length: 368 pages
Publication date: 11 November 2022
Publisher: Berghahn Books


The interwar period in Europe was a time of cultural growth, entertainment, and increased visibility for lesbians. While historical research on Germany during the post-World War I era has focused on gender and sexuality, with a focus on the "masculine" aspect of queer female sexuality, the Dutch context has been largely overlooked. Through meticulous and empathetic examinations of medico-social discourses, media portrayals, and literary representations of queer femininity, Different from the Others brings to light the hidden history of queer feminine women in both Germany and the Netherlands. Cyd Sturgess offers a theoretical analysis that makes significant empirical contributions to the history of Dutch gays and lesbians while also reshaping our collective understanding of queer femininity more broadly.
