Notes on chapter 2: Self-Representation: Dandyism and Androgyny
- I think one of the primary points of interest that draw me to the work and life of Romaine is that as a young female in contemporary society I can identify with the search for a sense of self. I am intrigued and inspired by her journey of self-actualization and her path to finding her place in a society in which she did not fit the status quo.
- "Romaine came to realize that gender was essentially a public performance and that clothing has the ability to mark and mask the individual." Pg 53.
Might be interested in my recent article on Romaine's Queer heroic portraits if you liked this. Journal of Lesbian Studies or you can get link at Http://www.romainebrooks.com
