Femme Mirror May, 1977. Volume 2 Number 3
Beverly Hills: Tri-Sigma Sorority, Publisher, 1977. Wraps. Good. Item #022334
Yellow wraps, roughly 8 ½ by 11 inches. 16 pp., including covers. Early issue of this zine devoted to (heterosexual) crossdressing. It originated in a more zine-like format in the late 1970s before adopting a more polished magazine-style look in the 1980s. The zine served as the official publication of the Tri-Ess Society, an organization founded by Virginia Prince to destigmatize crossdressing. Prince held anti-trans and sometimes homophobic views that excluded the transgender community. Under the leadership of Carol Beecroft the organization became more inclusive, forming alliances with LGBTQ+ groups, and helping to form the Southern Comfort Conference, a gathering of transgender people. This issue edited by Carol Beecroft. Includes make up tips and an article describing the trouble faced by a teenage "transvestite" in their household. GOOD condition. Large dampstain affecting most of the zine, resulting in brownish discoloration and some rippling to the paper. Minor soiling and staining.
