Oh this book is so underrated

Feminism!

Lesbianism!

Killing racists!

Amazing friendships between women!

Butchfemme!

1920s/1930s lesbians!

A 1980s depressed housewife being inspired by said lesbians!

Body positivity!

An old woman in an asylum who becomes the only reason why said housewife has a will to live!

Bees!

An incredibly small town!

Trains!

Everyone knows the lesbians are together but literally no one gives a shit, they also raise a kid! And own the Whistle Stop Café!

Cannibalism!

Time skips!

A side character who has casual sex in the 1920s/1930s and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks! (I love you Eva)

A Georgia really religious femme lesbian and an Alabama butch who will fight you!

Disabled rep!

(The Book of) Ruth 1:16 | Fried Green Tomatoes

Ruth quotes from The Book of Ruth (Bible, The Old Testament), and that brings back SO MANY memories.

I had a math teacher in high school named Ruth, whom I was madly in love with, so, for English class, I chose “The Book of Ruth” to make an essay of...naturally. Flash forward: I was digging around for my old King James after watching “Fried Green Tomatoes” and I’d forgotten I’d highlighted “The Book of Ruth” and had scribbled a note on the bottom:

“Call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.” (Ruth 1:20).

Whaddaya make of that? Anyway, as these stories go, Miss Ruth got married later that year, and I was devastated. HAHA. 🤣

Mild rant. I really love the movie Fried Green tomatoes and I feel like it’s an older movie that is not as popular as movies or shows that were able to have a prominent fan base still making art for it today.

If you haven’t seen it. Run.

To Netflix.

To a video store if you still have one.

To your nearest southern woman.

To your local gay who loves it as much as I do

This movie is one I watched as a child and at each age I realized a new interesting facet about it.

Without spoiling it I can say it’s about southern women at two different times. One story is set in ~1920 and one is set in ~1980. Both stories are interwoven as Ninny (a family member of Idgie) tells the story of Idgie and Ruth to an initially confused housewife (Evelyn) who grows to love the stories and applies them to her own life.

While Idgie and Ruth are technically the main characters, Kathy Bates as Evelyn steals every scene.

This last year was called the summer of girlhood with Taylor Swift and Barbie stealing the eye of the media but this movie embodies girlhood for me. From the many ways you can love a person to the very different examples of feminine endurance in each time.

It’s very southern which caused the book to be rejected from publishing initially with the idea that many people couldn’t relate to it. It was published under the title “Fried Green Tomatoes at The Whistle-stop Cafe” and later was turned into a film that showed me what to expect from people and how they should be treated.

Now, I can go on and on about an old movie (and I have) but I hope this little rant helps you add a wonderful title to your to be watched list.

Season 1, Episode 7 | FRIED GREEN TOMATOES (1991)

This beloved chronicle of Southern female friendship was lauded by GLAAD at the time of its release for its portrayal of a lesbian relationship, though not everyone agreed its depictions of lesbianism and race were empowering. Having watched it as children, Amy and Gabby's mostly just remembered how sad it was. Now they revisit the '90s classic with fresh adult eyes and find both its charm and its shortcomings readily apparent.
