Description

New York: William Morrow. 1981. "496pp., intro., notes, index, illustrations. Using letters, trial records, and pornography, as well as literature written by both men and women, Faderman traces the history of ""romantic friendship"" (the term used before the word lesbian came into use) from the Renaissance to the present. She shows how depictions of lesbian relationships were often voyeuristic, even when heavily veiled, and demonstrates how feminism often came to be equated with lesbianism." .
