Sakhiyani: Lesbian Desire in Ancient and Modern India by Giti Thadani

4.0

The first third is quite academic and rather dense, but I love Thandani's research and conclusions. It gives voice to a group that I don't think many of us Western Lesbians have thought much about before, and beautifully describes thousands of years of tradition and mythology. The story of how the heteropatriarchy wiped a lot of that out is pretty brutal though.
