Maggie Mae Fish (she/her) explores the work of Stephanie Rothman, the coolest director you’ve never heard of. The Velvet Vampire (1971), her bisexual vampire film, reflects the anxieties of the sexual revolution. Group Marriage (1973) is a sex comedy that tackles polyamory and marriage equality—both within a marriage, and from a legal standpoint. The Working Girls (1974) portrays the grounded experiences of three women trying to make a living in LA.
