    The last two decades have produced an enormous amount of literature about the role of male homosexuality in the classical and early Christian world--but almost nothing about lesbianism. Bernadette Brooten's Love Between Women remedies that oversight with a vengeance. Brooten's extraordinarily well-researched and breathtakingly argued book proves that female homoeroticism was well-established and thriving 2,000 years ago. Equally as important are her analyses of 19th century and contemporary scholars who have re-closeted lesbianism through ignorance and prejudice. Love Between Women is a breakthrough book that radically changes how we think about history and sexuality.

  • Product Description

    In the most important work on gay and lesbian history since John Boswell's pioneering Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality, Brooten examines female homoeroticism and the role of women in the ancient Roman world. Contrary to the widely held opinion which views Roman women as passive, submissive partners to men, this profound text contends that female homoeroticism was widespread among women of ancient times. 12 halftone illustrations.
