Synopsis
Love Between Women examines female homoeroticism and the role of women in the ancient Roman world. Employing an unparalleled range of cultural sources, Brooten finds evidence of marriages between women and establishes that condemnations of female homoerotic practices were based on widespread awareness of love between women. "An extraordinary accomplishment. . . . A definitive source for all future discussion of homoeroticism and the Bible."--Mary Rose D'Angelo, Harvard Gay & Lesbian Review " Brooten's] convincing analysis . . . not only profoundly reshapes our understanding of the past, but it should also shape the way in which that past, particularly the early Christian texts with their immense normative weight, will be used for the future."--Anne L. Clark, Journal of Lesbian Studies " Love Between Women gives contemporary debates on sexuality a carefully delineated past. It boldly insists upon a different future, one informed by history but not tyrannized by it."--Susan Ackerman, Lambda Book Report "Fascinating, provocative and lucid. . . . Brooten has made a fundamental contribution to women's and gender studies, gay and lesbian studies, and classics."--Elizabeth A. Castelli, Women's Review of Books Winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Best Lesbian Studies Book, 1997, Love Between Women examines female homoeroticism and the role of women in the ancient Roman world.

Castelli, Women's Review of Books Winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Best Lesbian Studies Book, 1997, Love Between Women examines female homoeroticism and the role of women in the ancient Roman world. Employing an unparalleled range of cultural sources, Brooten contends that early Christians and their Roman neighbors shared a view of the "natural" order of society, in which women were passive, submissive partners to men. Winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Best Lesbian Studies Book, 1997. Winner of the American Academy of Religion Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion, Historical Studies category, 1997. Winner of the Publishing Triangle's 1997 Judy Grahn Award for Lesbian Nonfiction. Book jacket.

- e***n (390)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
