- Information
Description
Focusing on British and European women, this is an accessible study of lesbian history since the 17th century.
Each chapter documents and examines a woman's life and work, or the nature of a particular partnership.
Some of the women featured are famous, such as Greta Garbo, Ethel Smyth, Eve Balfour and Queen Anne, while others have been forgotten or undocumented.
Collis's study raises many profound and seminal issues including the visibility of lesbians in different social contexts, the influence of social status and background on their ability to be open about their sexuality, the importance of sexuality to contemporary women, and the existence and creation of role models.
