Delporte looks at herself from the panoramic distance of time and perspective, to witness her life through the eyes of her new self and identity. It opens with a desire to “overwrite” the man-made images of lesbians; the rest of the book shows her reckoning with the misogynistic culture that shaped her and her embodied experience.
