About the book

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.

First sentence: Early Christianity emerged in a world in which people from various walks of life acknowledged that women could have sexual contact with women.
