A pioneering social history of lesbianism that combines historical biography with contemporary interviews and survey responses. Klaich traces changing attitudes toward love between women through the lives of figures such as Sappho, Colette, Natalie Clifford Barney, Radclyffe Hall and Gertrude Stein, and sets them beside the voices of ordinary lesbians she interviewed in the early 1970s.
