sapphic romance
Women loving women
Sapphic romance is a genre of fiction centered on romantic or sexual relationships between women.
The term encompasses lesbian relationships but is deliberately broader, including bisexual, pansexual, and queer women.
It derives from Sappho, the ancient Greek poet known for verses expressing desire for women.
I've been reading a lot of sapphic romance lately.
