Love Between Women: Early Christian Responses to Female Homoeroticism by Bernadette J. Brooten
challenging
informative
medium-paced
5.0
Incredibly in-depth and packed with information, while still being easy to read and understand.
The author examines how the Roman-Greek culture viewed female homoeroticism, their awareness of it, why they believed it was "bad", and how women who practice sexual love with other women were treated.
It was so interesting to learn how sex and gender were conceptualized in the ancient world, which influenced early Christianity, which influences so much of western culture today.
