Tereska Torrès (born Tereska Szwarc; 3 September 1920 – 20 September 2012) was a French writer known for the 1950 book Women's Barracks, the first "original paperback bestseller." In 2008 historians credited the republished book as the first pulp fiction book published in America to candidly address lesbian relationships, although Torrès did not agree with this analysis.
