Epigraph
I turned the page and read. . . . I am sorry to break off so abruptly. Are there no men present? Do you promise me that behind that curtain over there the figure of Sir Chartres Biron is not concealed? We are all women, you a... (show all)ssure me? Then I may tell you that the very next words I read were these—"Chloe liked Olivia. . . ." Do not start. Do not blush. Let us admit in the privacy of our own society that these things sometimes happen. Sometimes women do like women.

—Virginia Woolf
A Room of One's Own,1929
First words
In 1956, as a teenager, I began to consider myself a lesbian.
