After a calendar with bare models, here is a photo book entirely butch!

"Butch", it is the title of the book, explores the lesbian identity and the question of gender bringing women who identified as butch out.

Award-winning filmmaker Kanithea Powell (pictured on the left), also butch, who is at the origin of this photo book, wanted to show the true face of butch women and to take a fresh look at them.

"I wanted to create something that moved people to conversation," Powell told The Huffington Post.

"People talk all the time about how a butch woman is 'supposed' to dress and look. Well, these aren't your typical flannel, mullet having, boot-wearing butches. This book forces you to rip the blinders off your eyes and look around and see how things are changing."

"Life is about creating who you are. I hope that the people who experience 'butch' are inspired to step out of their box, collapse the box, take a knife to it and live more freely,” she added.
