Between women : friendship, desire, and marriage in Victorian England
Marcus, Sharon, 1966-2007
Books
Women in Victorian England wore jewelry made from each other's hair and wrote poems celebrating decades of friendship. A few had sexual relationships with each other, and lived together in long-term partnerships described as marriages. This title shows that these women were not seen as gender outlaws.
