Leathergirl
A leathergirl refers to a woman who identifies with and participates in the leather/BDSM subculture. This person is often queer but not exclusively, and is usually seeking a paternal/maternal figure.
Origins of the Term
The term “leathergirl” grew out of the leather scene’s expansion in the late 1970s and early 1980s when queer women began forming their own leather collectives.
