Radclyffe Hall (poet and author) & Una Vincenzo, Lady Troubridge (sculptor and translator). The two women were in a long-term lesbian partership from 1915 until Hall's death in 1943.

After her partner's death, Troubridge had Hall's masculine style suits altered to fit her, and wore them habitually. Troubridge died in Rome in 1963, and her grave reads 'The Friend of Radclyffe Hall'.

When you read literature about being butch and it throws such accurate statements like this at you. I got so much butch joy reading this.

Anyway go read this fantastic essay by Miriam Harrow: Looking Butch Through the Years: Intergenerationality and Gazing in Lesbian Literature and Photography

The Well of Loneliness is one of the most famous (if not THE most famous) lesbian novel of all time. It is not a niche text that's only survived on Project Gutenberg – it's literally still in print!

It WAS the subject of an obscenity trial, and some copies were seized and destroyed, but not nearly all of them. It's great that you're giving people access to the book, but worth knowing the full context!

Wow, thank you for telling me! I probably could have done more of a google on this one, but in my defense, I was doing embroidery at the time. The hbomberguy video only said "all copies were ordered burned", so I'm very glad that many many people got to keep their lesbian WW1 ambulance drivers

“It is doubtful if any only child is to be envied, for the only child is bound to become introspective. Having no one of its own ilk in which to confide, it is apt to confide in itself.”
