Editions & Revisions
James Huneker’s Painted Veils, published in 1920, was indeed controversial for its time and includes lesbian content that was quite daring for the era.
The character who is lesbian-coded is Dora, who is portrayed as Easter’s “mannish” friend and companion. Dora is depicted as having masculine characteristics both physically and in her demeanor, fitting into period stereotypes of lesbian women. She’s possessive of Easter and shows jealousy toward Easter’s male suitors.
