Ladies Almanack

Ladies Almanack by Djuna Barnes is a satirical novel written in the style of an almanac. It portrays the lives of lesbian women in Paris in the early 20th century, particularly focusing on the character Dame Evangeline Musset. The book uses humor and wit to explore the relationships, sexual and social, among women in the expatriate and artistic community of Paris. It is known for its unique blend of parody, high comedy, and an insider's perspective on the lives of women loving women, and it's celebrated for its playful, complex use of language and its daring in addressing lesbian themes at a time when such topics were often taboo.
