Found the choppy style interesting but difficult to follow as very little informations was provided about each character but the reader is expected to remember them much later on. Some good prose writing but doesn't address some aspects of feminism at the time (eg class restricting freedoms as to who can be feminist) that could have very interesting to read.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Sexism, Lesbophobia
Moderate: Rape, Sexual assault
wonderful fragments of the lives sappho influenced throughout italy and her islands in the early 20th century
DNF as a fault of my own, the history of lesbianism without intersectionality is hard for me to accept, such beauty falls lacklustre
