Really enjoyed reading this review from Deenah Al-Aqsa:
https://lacuna.org.uk/equality/hijab-butch-blues-book-review/

'The book is titled as an ode to Leslie Feinberg’s award-winning 1993 novel, Stone Butch Blues. Like its inspiration, Hijab Butch Blues delves into what it means to be a gender nonconforming activist, while navigating the biases and prejudices held in queer circles.

'Lamya explores what it means to be Muslim and South Asian in these spaces, too, unafraid in calling out colourism and classism in the communities they are part of.'
