The Lesbian History Sourcebook: Love and Sex Between Women in Britain from 1870 to 1970

by Alison Oram

The Lesbian History Sourcebook: Love and Sex Between Women in Britain from 1870 to 1970 Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Covering a 100 year period, this book looks at women who loved other women, had sex with other women, who cross-dressed and who resisted heterosexuality. It is a search for lesbianism in the past, centering on women's sexual practices and feelings and their deviance from gender role norms of femininity. "Lesbian History" is based on original and contemporary sources, both private and those of public concern including legal cases and journalism. They range from official government publications, professional journals and newspapers to fiction, poetry, personal papers and ephemera. Here is an essential overview of lesbians in history from the end of the nineteenth century through the 1970s when the women's liberation movement began to take hold "Lesbian History" is a welcome resource that fills the gap in the existing literature.
