We talk to Prof. Jaime Harker about the need to include lesbian voices in our examination of southern literature. Her book, The Lesbian South: Southern Feminists, the Women in Print Movement, and the Queer Literary Canon, examines the untold story of lesbian writing and presses. We also talk about her latest project, Violet Valley Bookstore, the only queer and feminist focused bookstore in all of Mississippi. We mention a lot of different book titles in this episode. You can find a complete list on our website and you can purchase them on our new Bookshop page: https://bookshop.org/shop/southernqueeries.\xa0\n\xa0\nFollow Jaime Harker:\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/violetvalleybooks/\xa0\nInstagram: @violetvalleybooks\nWebsite:https://www.violetvalley.org/\xa0\nTwitter: Violet Valley Bookstore (@VioletValleyMS)\xa0\xa0\nMake sure you keep up with us at\xa0southernqueeries.com\xa0for additional show notes and a behind the scenes look at this episode and how we make the podcast.
