The Girls in 3-B
1959 cover of The Girls in 3-B
- ... that The Girls in 3-B was one of the first pulp fiction novels to give a lesbian a happy ending? Source: https://www.worldcat.org/title/girls-in-3-b/oclc/52478429 "Walker calls the book 'remarkable in providing a happy ending for the lesbian character', particularly for the time and genre."

Nice work. Article is new enough (moved to main space on 11/17), long enough, well written, and appropriately sourced. Hooks are interesting, short enough, and supported by in-line citation. interesting. QPQ satisfied. Image is licensed as PD (though I was a little surprised that a 1959 book cover is PD).
- Earwig highlighted a quote from the 2004 Los Angeles Times piece, but the passage is not excessively long and is presented as a direct quote, so that appears to be fine. Cbl62 (talk) 18:16, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
- Cbl62, thanks for the review! Yeah, I was surprised, too, about the public domain. Apparently these early pulp book covers never established copyright, maybe because at the time the world considered the whole genre just cheap trash. You can't believe how difficult it is to even find out who the artists are. —valereee (talk) 18:37, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
