The Well of Loneliness

Stephen Gordon has always been different. Firstly, she was born a girl against her parent’s wishes. Secondly, she is raised to be boyish, much to her mother’s disdain. Third—but most important—is that Stephen loves women, and it is a very isolating life to lead. Revisit one of Britian’s most famous banned books—the original lesbian novel, The Well of Loneliness.
