Description

Passions Between Women explores the complex and often contradictory lives of women who felt passion for women in 17th and 18th century Britain. Through an examination of medical, legal and erotic source material, Emma Donoghue uncovers the range of lesbian and bisexual identities described in British texts during this period.

From female pirates to chambermaids, poets to prostitutes, Donoghue sheds light on a previously invisible history of women who defied societal norms. Her study reveals an astonishing spectrum of gender rebellion, creating a new map of eighteenth-century sexual territories and identities.

This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of women who lived outside the boundaries of conventional society, challenging our understanding of the past and inspiring a fresh perspective on the complexities of human desire.
