The Font of Liberty, by Elizabeth Porter Birdsall
https://alpennia.com/blog/lesbian-historic-motif-podcast-episode-291-font-liberty-elizabeth-porter-birdsall
➤ as one would expect from the venue, this short story is about historical lesbians!
➤ specifically, historical lesbians working in a parisian printshop in 1830 (2 years before Les Mis is set, if that's relevant for you)
➤ ahhhh I love all the different women in this story, their relationships with each other and their work and their beliefs
➤ and the main character a provincial girl who's finding a place for herself and coming to understand the world of revolutionary paris she's found herself in!
➤ I also love how real and grounded the printshop work is that they all do
➤ it was great from start to finish <3
➤ and yes the author is a friend but I'm not biased at all!!
