Lesbianism in Antiquity
Book •
Bernadette J. Brooten's scholarship on female same-sex relations in antiquity investigates how lesbianism was represented and understood in ancient cultures.
Her work analyzes literary, legal, and material sources to reconstruct social realities and the meanings attached to women’s sexual behaviors.
Brooten situates lesbian practices within broader contexts of gender, power, and religious life, challenging assumptions and illuminating neglected evidence.
The studies are recognized for careful philological work and for bringing women’s experiences into conversations about ancient sexuality.
Her research is frequently cited in classical studies and gender history.
