Passions between women
Blurb: In the tradition of Lillian Faderman's Surpassing the Love of Men and John Boswell's Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe--a groundbreaking work of lesbian scholarship that presents a revisionist and frankly sexual look at 18th-century lesbian culture.
Ironic that she debunks many of Faderman's conclusions about the visibility of lesbianism before the late 1800s. She also debunks the still-used myth that the words lesbian and sapphic were not used to describe homosexual women until the late 1800s. Both were used much earlier and in context. This was fascinating and I learned a lot about how our history, including hermaphrodites, female husbands, romantic friendships. Oh, and that Sappho was bisexual, not a lesbian. What does that mean for the word?
