Modern women’s sexual expression is exploited & co-opted by advertising & marketing packaged for the male gaze. This leaves a void in authentic female sexuality. Then, in a rejection of the proliferation of this male skewed sexual imagery, the intelligencia often criticizes women who claim their own sexuality, be it for their own pleasure, consumption or intellect, and who use it in their work etc. On Our Backs went against the grain and depicted sexual imagery of women, for female consumption, lesbian female consumption, authentic and original. The idea of making sexually explicit imagery to be consumed by women and created for the female gaze, was and still is unbelievable radical. Suzie Bright, had the ovaries to create this venue. Yah this is the sh*t. xoxooxox
