Abstract

Lesbians Homoerotic Love Christianity Homosexual, Female Marriage Religious Education Religious History Religious Studies Sociology of Sex and Gender
Love Between Women examines female homoeroticism and the role of women in the ancient Roman world. Employing an unparalleled range of cultural sources, Brooten finds evidence of marriages between women and establishes that condemnations of female homoerotic practices were based on widespread awareness of love between women.
