Lesbian communities created the term ‘femme’ in the 1940s. ‘Femme’ referred to a feminine lesbian in a relationship with a masculine (or butch) lesbian.

‘Femme’ is now used more broadly and can include bisexual and queer women; trans and nonbinary people; and gay, bi, and queer men (where the word is usually shortened to ‘fem’).

There are also some terrific ‘femme’ variations: 'High femme' describes an ultra-feminine presentation that could include wearing the colour pink, glitter, and sequins.

'Hard Femme' describes someone with an edge to their femininity; they may wear leather, spiked accessories, and fabulous platform boots.

The series celebrates the labels that help people express their individuality and define their place in the world.
