Until well into the twentieth century, the claims to citizenship of
women in the US and in Europe have come through men (father,
husband); women had no citizenship of their own. The case studies
of three expatriate women (Renee Vivien, Romaine Brooks, and
Natalie Barney) illustrate some of the consequences for women who
lived independent lives. To begin with, the books traces the way
that ideas about national belonging shaped gay male identity in the
nineteenth century, before showing that such a discourse was not
available to women and lesbians, including the three women who form
the core of the book. In addition to questions of sexually
non-conforming identity, women's mediated claim to citizenship
limited their autonomy in practical ways (for example, they could
be unilaterally expatriated). Consequently, the situation of the
denizen may have been preferable to that of the citizen for women
who lived between the lines. Drawing on the discourse of
jurisprudence, the history of the passport, and original archival
research on all three women, the books tells the story of women's
evolving claims to citizenship in their own right.
