Boston marriage

"Boston marriage" as a term is said to have been in use in New England in the decades spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries to describe two women living together, independent of financial support from a man.
==Origin of the term==
The fact of relatively formalized romantic friendships or life partnerships between women predates the term "Boston marriage" and there is a long record of it in England and other European countries.〔Elizabeth Mavor, ''The Ladies of Llangollen'' (London: Penguin, 1971), page ??〕 The term "Boston marriage" became associated with Henry James's ''The Bostonians'' (1886), a novel involving a long-term co-habiting relationship between two unmarried women, "new women," although James himself never used the term. James' sister Alice, who lived in such a relationship with another woman, Katherine Loring, was among his sources for such a relationship.〔Margaret Cruikshank, "James, Alice" in George Haggerty and Bonnie Zimmerman, eds., ''Encyclopedia of Lesbian and Gay Histories and Cultures'' (Taylor & Francis, 1999), 411, (available online ), accessed February 12, 2015〕
There are many examples of women in "Boston marriage" relationships. In the late 1700s, for example, two Irish upper-class women, Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, were identified as a couple and nicknamed the Ladies of Llangollen. Elizabeth Mavor suggests that the institution of romantic friendships between women reached a zenith in eighteenth-century England.〔 In the U.S., a prominent example is that of the novelist Sarah Orne Jewett and her companion Annie Adams Fields, widow of the editor of ''The Atlantic Monthly,'' during the late 1800s.
Lillian Faderman provided one of the most comprehensive studies of Boston marriages in ''Surpassing the Love of Men'' (1981). Twentieth-century film reviewers used the term to describe the Jewett-Fields relationship depicted in the 1998 documentary film ''Out of the Past''. David Mamet's play ''Boston Marriage'', which premiered in 2000, helped popularize the term.
