Jae's Sapphic Book Bingo 2022 - hosted by sapphiction

Sapphic classic
Read a sapphic classic—one of the trailblazing books published in the 20th century or before, at a time when most mainstream publishers wouldn’t publish LGBT+ literature and sapphic characters often didn’t get a happy ending. Look for a book first published before 2000.
