Clemence Dane’s novel Regiment of Women (published in 1917) doesn’t contain explicit lesbian content by modern standards, but it does feature coded representations of lesbian relationships that were quite controversial for its time. Regiment of Women is the debut novel of Winifred Ashton writing as Clemence Dane.
The novel centers on a girls’ school and particularly focuses on the relationship between Clare Hartill, a charismatic and manipulative teacher, and her student Alwynne. Their relationship is depicted with strong emotional and psychological intensity that many readers have interpreted as having lesbian undertones.
