ArtemisSmith's The Third Sex

A fictionalized documentary of the complexities of gay life in the 1950's and the problems of 'coming out' generated by a lack of adequate theory on the nature of gender identity. ATTENTION ALL HETEROSEXUALS: Stay well-informed. This e-Book does not contain all the important biographical commentary and memorabilia illustrations included in the Author's 2013 new paperback Color Library Edition, available for only a few dollars more from your bookseller (ISBN 978-1-878998-05-7). That edition includes all of the suppressed ArtemisSmith Sexology papers plus the ATHEIST MANIFESTO being sold separately in multiple Nook editions. Students and Collectors should consider buying the paperback instead, especially since all autographed ArtemisSmith titles resell at a premium. Want the paperback autographed? Still-living author ArtemisSmith Morpurgo is available for virtual book signings through her own website, www.ArtemisSmith.net. This eBook version - containing only the 1960's novel and the 2011 Introduction - is recommended only for a quick read of the lesbian pulp fiction classic that became one of the best-selling manifestos of the pre-Stonewall Gay Rights movement. The original edition was a collaboration between Rainbow rights activists and life-partners Annselm Morpurgo (Artemis Smith) and Billie Taulman. Upon Taulman's collapse into a long-term debilitating illness, Annselm Morpurgo, a Warhol contemporary, continued to write novels, plays, poetry and scientific treatises under the pen name of Artemis Smith, and later, ArtemisSmith. This Author's eBook Re-Issue is part of the larger annotated paperback color edition of the classic lesbian pulp novel which, today, not only reads like a documentary of gay life in 1959 but also presents a contemporary picture of the people who may be living next door to you!
