Lesbian literature
Lesbian literature is a subgenre of literature addressing lesbian themes. It includes both fiction addressing lesbian characters, and non-fiction about lesbian-interest topics.
Fiction that fall into this category may be of any genres, such as, but not limited to, historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, horror and romance.
==History==
The first novel in the English language recognised as having a lesbian theme is Radclyffe Hall's ''The Well of Loneliness'' (1928), which a British court found obscene because it defended "unnatural practices between women". The book was banned in Britain for decades; this is in the context of the similar censorship of ''Lady Chatterley's Lover'', which also had a theme of transgressive female sexuality, albeit heterosexual. In the United States ''The Well of Loneliness'' survived legal challenges in New York and the Customs Court. A deeper examination of many classic novels and texts reveals lesbian-focused characters.〔Foster, Dr. Jeannette H. Jeannette Howard Foster. (1985). ''Sex Variant Women in Literature'', Naiad Press.〕
Lesbian fiction saw a huge explosion in interest with the advent of the dime-store or pulp fiction novel. Lesbian pulp fiction became its own distinct category of fiction,〔Grier, Barbara (1973). ''The Lesbian in Literature''. (Press ), 1973.〕 although a significant number of authors of this genre were men using either a male or female pen name.〔 The feminist movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s saw a more accepted entry of lesbian-themed literature.
