Biographical Text
Randy Salem is the pseudonym of Pat Perdue, an author widely admired by lesbian readers of lesbian pulp fiction. Man Among Women, published in 1960, "accommodates the genre's insistence on male voyeurism but resists the male power that traditionally accompanies it ... The male protagonist is allowed to look at lesbians but always with painful consequences ..." (Keller p. 6) In an interview with Lyn Munroe Books, fellow lesbian pulp fiction writer, Gil Fox, identified Pat Perdue and Sally Singer (March Hastings) as romantic partners.
