Celebrate the launch of Sinister Wisdom 135: Hungerheart, an exciting re-publication of Christabel Marshall’s coming-of-age novel. Originally published in 1915 under the pseudonym Christopher St. John, Hungerheart is regarded as the first Catholic lesbian novel written amidst censorship and sexual oppression. Standing apart from other lesbian novels of the fin de siècle and The New Woman Movement, the protagonist’s journey of sapphic spirituality and sexuality isn’t a phase but rather marks the beginning of a lifelong reverence of women. Register for the Zoom event highlighting Marshall’s work on January 21, 2025, at 7 P.M. ET at sinisterwisdom.org/events.
