While watching the latest episode of The Other Bennet Sister to be released on Britbox, I realized something.
I don't think anyone has ever hit on me with poetry or written a song about me.
What a shame that it's not more common in our era. 😕

Also:
Love letters occasionally surfaced during investigations.
Newspapers eagerly reprinted passages describing devotion, longing, jealousy, and commitment. While journalists intended these details to shock readers, they also preserved rare evidence of lesbian relationships.

Don't you find it fascinating that people from the 1800s had a completely different speaking rhythm than us?

Additionally:
Society offered no legal framework for two women to marry.
She could not introduce another woman as her wife and expect society to accept the relationship. By presenting themselves as men, some lesbians were able to create a socially recognizable household.

Did You Know?
In Victorian era, newspapers reported on women who adopted male identities specifically in order to court, live with, or marry other women.
These women were often labeled "female husbands" by the press.

Do you ever wonder if, out of all the people who see you daily or even just occasionally, one of them is secretly madly in love with you?
I ask this, because I recently found out that one of my high school classmates had a major crush on me.
I had no idea. 😳

Additional Facts:
Some left behind evidence that their primary motivation was not economic advancement, or a desire to live as men.
Instead, they appear to have adopted a male identity because it was the only practical way to build a romantic life with the women they loved.
