Journey to fulfillment

Journey to Fulfillment front cover. The cover art is made up of text and solid colour fields. The title is shown in large, green letters, distributed diagonally across the center of the cover. Below the title, and also diagonally distributed, more letters, in a different and smaller font but also green, name the author of the book. At the top left, and also in a different font, more small green letters hint on the topic of the story. At the very bottom, another set of green, small letters describes the story as the first in a series. There is also a logo at the top right, seemingly of the publishing house or imprint. The background is a solid peach framed within a wide, green margin that matches the colour of the text.

Of love forbidden

Of Love Forbidden front cover. A naked woman is sitting on the floor facing the viewer with arms and legs crossed, her chin resting on her right, bent knee. The background is a textured turquoise colour field, and the scene is lit from the top right in a hard light.

Young and innocent

The heads of two women are centered over a brushstroke stripe of lime green over a solid, light tan background. A blonde in the foreground, a brunette partly behind her. The blonde has her eyes closed and her mouth is slightly open. Her hair is long and curly, and she is wearing earrings. The brunette, whose hair is short and curly, looks at her from behind her on the right of the image with her eyes slightly squinted and lips slightly parted. The scene is lit from the top right in a hard light.

We too are drifting

We Too Are Drifting front cover. Two women occupy most of the visual space. One is standing on the left of the image, her back to the reader, and seen from her calves up. She has blond, short hair and is wearing a white and red-stripped male pajama top with the sleeves rolled up to her forearms. Her legs are slightly spread, shoulder-width. Her gaze is directed downward from her right shoulder toward another woman sitting behind her, a brunette with her hair tied in a bun, neck-high. She is wearing a black negligee and is sitting on her folded legs with hands together between her thighs. She seems to have her eyes closed and, like the other woman, has her face wrapped in a shadow. A beam of warm light illuminates them both partly from the right of the image.

Strange path (The)

The Strange Path front cover. Two women appear facing the reader, to the right of the image. One, a blonde with long, curly hair wearing a light-blue negligee, is sitting on a bed, legs folded under her body as she gazes at the reader with half-shut eyes and mouth slightly open. Her right-hand plays with a lock of her hair over her chest, the weight of her body on her stretched left arm. The left strap of her negligee hangs over her elbow. The other woman, a brunette with short hair, stands behind her, to the right of the image and facing the reader at a three-quarter angle towards the left. She is dressed in a blue cardigan and what seem to be black pants. Her head is upright, and her gaze is directed downward toward the blonde as she rests her right hand on the blonde's right shoulder. Her left fingers touch the blonde's left shoulder. On the wall behind them, the lights and shadows of window panes are cast, as well as their own shadows, and the light reflected seems like that of morning sunshine.

Dark side of Venus (The)

The Dark Side of Venus front cover. The silhouettes of two women's faces, one with short hair the other with long hair, occupy the bottom half of the space. The woman with short hair is in profile in the foreground, looking towards the right of the reader. The one with long hair is facing the reader and is in the background, to the left of the image, and seen from her chest up. Above them is a dark square background to the title and authors' names. The scene is lit from the back right.

Loving and the daring (The)

The Loving and the Daring front cover. To the left of the image, a woman, redhead, is shown descending the steps of a stone stairway with a wrought iron railing. She wears a green, knee-high skirt, an orange-red cardigan, and brown, high heel shoes. Her left hand is on the railing, her right arm is stretched over her right side. Her eyes are slightly closed and look toward another woman, whose face and shoulders are seen in the foreground, to the bottom-right of the image. She is a brunette with short, curly hair. Her face is heavily made up and partly faces the reader, slightly bent towards the right bottom corner of the image. Her eyes are slightly closed and look back toward the woman on the stairway but do not look straight at her. Her lips are slightly parted and her eyebrows appear raised. She seems to be wearing an off-shoulders gold and black-trimmed gown, and earrings. The scene is lit from the top left.

Women's barracks

Women's Barracks front cover. A blonde, seemingly sitting down, is shown, from the top of her back upwards, at a three-quarter angle and in profile, showing her right shoulder and part of her right arm and the top of her back. Her hair is tied up with a hair clip at the top of her head and flows down to her nape. A strap of her brassiere is visible over her right shoulder. Her head, turned to her right, partially faces the reader. Her eyes are looking down toward her right. What seems to be a khaki military garment is partially shown, wrinkled, behind her back. Behind the blonde, to the left of the image, stands a brunette in profile, also at a three-quarter angle towards the back of the image, facing left. She has on a khaki military shirt that partially hangs, disclosing her shoulders and the top of her back, and exposing the strap of her brassiere on her left side. She seems to be wearing a khaki skirt. Her hair is up and she holds a cigarette in her left hand, which she stares at. The scene is lit from the top left.
Women's Barracks by Tereska Torrės is credited as the first of the mid-century pulp paperbacks to feature a lesbian-themed cover and contain passages describing physical intimacy between two women.

Golden cage (The)

The Golden Cage Front cover. A single nude woman, seemingly sitting over her bent knees, in profile, is looking away from the reader. She has her right arm raised, palm up and relaxed. Her left side is seen, almost centred in the space, beneath what appear to be tall grasses bordering a body of water, such as a lake. Her eyes are closed, her nose touching her raised arm. Her hair seems to be tied up in a bun behind her head. Her left arm is stretched downwards behind her. There are yellow lines and dots of many colours drawn next to the book title, which is in the right of the image. A double-exposure makes part of the image look faded. The scene is lit from the left.

Fever in the sun

Fever in the Sun front cover. A redhead woman is shown lying stretched on her back on a wicker lounger, diagonally filling the center of the image. She is wearing a pink negligee which is open on both sides, exposing her cupped-brassieres and panties. She is wearing a pink ribbon on her hair. Her face is turned toward her left and towards the reader, but her eyes focus on a man sitting at the edge of the lounger to her right and who leans over, looking directly at her, his right-hand firm over her on the seat of the lounger, and his left hand placed against the back of the chair. He is dressed in brown pants, a belt, and a purple, long-sleeved shirt with green stripes. The woman has her right hand around his neck. There is a plant on the ground, on the foreground, similar to the taro or elephant's ear plant. The background is a solid red, and there are four yellow looped lines around the cover's title toward the top left. The scene is lit from the front, top.

Hired girl

Hire hand front cover. A redhead woman sits on a wooden chair in the ground-level rain porch of a wooden structure. She is sitting with her legs sprawled, wearing a knee-high pink dress with short sleeves and buttons, and a V-neck, and she is barefoot. The right sleeve of the dress hangs over her shoulder. Her right hand is on her inner right thigh, while her left hand seems to be gesturing from behind the back of the chair. Her head is tilted to her left and slightly bowed down, and her eyes look to her right. Behind her there is a curtained, glass-pane window and a door and, to her left, a wooden rocker can be partially seen. To the far left of the image, the head of a man staring at her with a frown is seen, at a three-quarters angle away from the reader. Only the collar of his shirt is partially visible. A wooden post stands vertically between both figures, and a weed grows at the edge of the wooden deck, on the barren ground. From the lit areas, it seems that the sun is fairly low on the horizon, shining on them from the front left.

Whisper their love

Whisper Their Love front cover. A brunette with short, curly hair is shown to the far right side of the image sitting down. Part of one of her legs is visible, showing the hem of a blue skirt and part of her shin. She is wearing a yellow, long-sleeved blouse which is buttoned at the cleavage level. Her face is slightly tilted to her right and to the back, and her gaze is relaxed and directed toward another woman, a redhead, who is sitting on the ground beside her with her body leaned over her lap and her right arm bent over the brunette's lap. Her eyes are green eyes and she is wearing a negligee with lace on its upper part, and straps. The brunette strokes her hair with her left hand, and the redhead's head is slightly curling over her right shoulder as she looks directly at the reader with a smile. To the left, in the background, a green night table is seen against a wall, with a table lamp on top which illuminates the wall in two places, over and under its shade. To the right of the image, around the brunette's left side, rays of light can be seen, seemingly coming through a window with blinds over it. The image is set over a yellow background seen at the top and the bottom of the cover.

Portrait of a lesbian

Portrait of a lesbian front cover. A red and black halftone image of the face of a woman with short hair fills most of the space against a black background. The face occupies the right half of the cover, positioned at a three-quarter angle facing left of the reader. The woman's eyes look straight out at the reader, lit with hard light from the front-right. The title is at the top and is a combination of sans-serif and serif fonts.
