Le Monocle was a famous lesbian club that opened in Paris in the 1920's. At the time, Parisian lesbians would wear a monocle or a white carnation in the buttonhole so they could be indentified by other girls looking for fun.
In Le Monocle, women would dress as gentlemen, wearing suits, short hair and sometimes hats. For 20 years, it was a place of gathering, entertainment and freedom.
