Recs if you like Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers: A History of Lesbian Life in Twentieth-Century America...

A collection of books to learn more about queer people and their history

All the lesbians books I can find. If you have any book you want me to add please comment ❤️

my personal wlw library so… a lot of classic lesbian lit, basically

❌ online discourse, ✔️ holistic knowledge fiction & non-fiction that will deepen your understanding of sapphism, its language/label evolution, and its intersections with bipoc, gender diversity and bisexuality. (please note “lesbian” terminology was originally an expansive umbrella openly inclusive of fluid sapphics when many books were published, and not all identify as specifically/exclusively wlw!)

my personal curriculum on gender (particularly third-gender communities). recs welcome!

★ i have not read all of these so please let me know if they are problematic/should be removed!!★

Make your way through the lesbian herstorical canon.

This list features standalone non-fiction texts only.

Please request these books at your local library.

Most out-of-print texts can be requested through your library's ILL system or read on archive.org. 💝

from photographs, essays, poems and more: these reads offer the living experiences of lesbians/sapphics of different backgrounds ♡

all lesbians/sapphics are welcome! anything sapphic-centered i find will be added on here! hope you enjoy!

So much LGBTQ+ history! A lot of this is centered in the US, though there are some exceptions and I'm trying to grow it all the time. Note that I have an HIV / AIDS list that a lot of queer history, especially around the 80s + 90s. So check that one out for more

I have yet to see a list that covered lesbian nonfiction so I decided to make one! Suggestions welcome! I may not have read all on this list yet!

books about sex work and what it entails

gender studies theoretical works for those who wish to delve into this field!! (BEWARE! it acts as umbrella term for many other fields, therefore it's immensely extensive😭)

I thought it would be nice to have all of them in one long list.
