Sexual activity between women, which had previously been ignored, glossed over or referred to only in discreet private letters, started to be discussed more widely, and gossip and accusations published. Women lovers of women were called 'tommies' in slang, but the classically educated spoke of 'sapphists' – from the Greek poet Sappho who wrote of her love for women.

Εχω μια κουρασμένη ψυχή
Που ο νους δεν μπορεί να φανταστεί
Όλα τελείωσαν
Ολα έσβησαν
Εχω μια κουρασμένη ψυχή
Και αισθήματα πεταμένα κάθε λογής
Ολα ξεχαρβαλωμενα
Ολα ταλαιπωρημενα
Εχω μια κουρασμένη ψυχή
Δεν μου μυρίζει πια η ευτυχία
Ολα μπουκωμένα
Ολα κατεστραμενα
Θολές και απελπιστες σκέψεις όπως τις σκέφτεται ένας .... σαν και εμένα

Ἔλα νὰ ἀνταλλάξουμε κορμὶ καὶ μοναξιά.
Νὰ σοῦ δώσω ἀπόγνωση, νὰ μὴν εἶσαι ζῷο,
νὰ μοῦ δώσεις δύναμη, νὰ μὴν εἶμαι ράκος.
Νὰ σοῦ δώσω συντριβή, νὰ μὴν εἶσαι μοῦτρο,
νὰ μοῦ δώσεις χόβολη, νὰ μὴν ξεπαγιάσω.
Κι ὕστερα νὰ πέσω μὲ κατάνυξη στὰ πόδια σου,
γιὰ νὰ μάθεις πιὰ νὰ μὴν κλωτσᾶς.

Elizabeth Carter, the classical scholar and translator of the Greek poet Epictetus, called Catherine Talbot 'my passion, I think of her all the day, dream of her all the night and one way or another introduce her into every subject I talk of.'
