5.0
A more in-depth look at historical representations of Sapphic love and sexuality from many cultures that considers all female individuals, including those who may have considered themselves transmasculine or non-binary should they have been alive today.
Rupp has assembled a fantastic collection of texts, art, and other forms of proof that Sapphic love has always existed and thrived regardless of patriarchal erasure, pathologization, and moral-oriented demonization. This text also compares the differences in how female same-sex love was treated [read devalued] in contrast to male same-sex love. There are too many reasons to read this book.
