‘just friends’! Queer women have been written out of history since well forever. ‘But
historians famously care about women!’ said no one. From Anne Bonny and Mary Read who sailed
the seas together disguised as pirates to US football captain Megan Rapinoe declaring ‘You
can’t win a championship without gays on your team’ via countless literary salons and tuxedos
A Short History of Queer Women sets the record straight on women who have loved other women
through the ages. Who says lesbians can’t be funny?
