Jack Tar 207 has compiled a list of 50 Fierce Femmes and seriously, it’s the best gathering of humans you’ve ever seen. In case you’re not familiar with Jack Tar 207Â yet, they’re a super cool product photography company specializing in body-positive visibility that broadens and challenges “society’s expectations and definitions of beauty.”
Jack Tar 207 prefaced their list with:
These incredible people entertain, empower, and inspire us, with their words, actions, and presence.
Unfailingly Fierce. Unabashedly Femme.
Thank you all.
The versatile list includes fashion bloggers, poets, activists and all other sorts, and in fact, we were over the moon to recognize some familiar Autostraddle faces on there!

The list has our amazingly fierce and wonderful Contributing Editor and basically everyone’s favorite human on Earth, Mey!

You might also recognize our Autostraddle contributors Aja, of Fit for a Femme fame, and Bevin, the Femmecee (credit of clever wordplay: hers) of Queer Fat Femme, featured as well!

We’re so proud to have these three amazing women in our Autostraddle and queer family, and so unbelievably happy that Jack Tar 207 took the time to highlight all of these inspirational femmes in one place in order for us to learn more about the incredible work being done throughout the femme community. Everyone from Beth Ditto to Sonya Renee to Zena Sharman to Sarah Deragon to Leah Lakshmi to Lauren Zuniga to Danielle Askini is on the 50 Fierce Femmes list, and the urge to list every single one is so overpowering that I have to stop there. This list is the perfect opportunity to take some time to find out more about some fierce femmes you should be loving, too.
