Focusing on British and European women, this is an accessible study
of lesbian history since the 17th century. Each chapter documents
and examines a woman's life and work, or the nature of a particular
partnership. Some of the women featured are famous, such as Greta
Garbo, Ethel Smyth, Eve Balfour and Queen Anne, while others have
been forgotten or undocumented. Collis's study raises many profound
and seminal issues including the visibility of lesbians in
different social contexts, the influence of social status and
background on their ability to be open about their sexuality, the
importance of sexuality to contemporary women, and the existence
and creation of role models.
