Maggie Hennefeld interviews Diana W. Anselmo about her new book, A Queer Way of Feeling: Girl Fans and Personal Archives of Early Hollywood(University of California Press, 2023), which gathers an unexplored archive of fan-made scrapbooks, letters, diaries, and photographs to explore how girls coming of age in the United States in the 1910s used cinema to forge a foundational language of female nonconformity, intimacy, and kinship. Anselmo and Hennefeld discuss queer fandom, archival research, feminist historiography, movie love, and the precarious social conditions in which passionate audiences find their voices through unlikely means.
