Women's Barracks
By:Tereska Torres
Published on 2012-10-01 by The Feminist Press at CUNY
The long-awaited re-issue of the 1950 “lesbian pulp” classic. Originally published in 1950, this account of life among female Free French soldiers in a London barracks during World War II sold four million copies in the United States alone and many more worldwide. The novel is based on the real-life experiences of the author, Tereska Torres. As the Blitz rains down over London, taboos are broken, affairs start and stop, and hearts are won and lost. Women’s Barracks was banned for obscenity in several states and denounced by the House Select Committee on Current Pornographic Materials in 1952 as an example of how the paperback industry was promoting moral degeneracy. In spite of such efforts—or perhaps, in part, because of them—the novel became a record-breaking bestseller and inspired a whole new genre: lesbian pulp. “Kudos to the editors for bringing this lost classic back into print—it never should have left us in the first place.” —Publishers Weekly
