Path: Lesbians : Famous lesbians
(This is a computer translation of the original article in Spanish. It should not be regarded as complete or accurate.)
Along the History many famous women have admitted that they were lesbian, whereas others have been "accused", sometimes erroneously. The concept of sexual orientation has changed very much with the time. Without treating the lesbian relations openly, to half of the XVIIIth century the romantic friendship between women was of fashion in the English literature, as for example the relation between "Ladys of Llangollen", Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, or the romantic friendship of Sarah Scott, Elizabeth Carter and Catherine Talbot, Anna Seward and Honora Sneyd, or Mary Wollstonecraft and Fanny Blood. During the XXth century there went off the number of famous women who were not concealing her lesbianism or her bisexuality, as Vita Sackville-West, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Marguerite Yourcenar, Janis Joplin, Martina Navratilova, the partner Susan Sontag and Annie Leibowitz, Amelie Mauresmo, etc. Although these are women's examples that had voice in the society of their time, million anonymous lesbians have done of their lives an example that we will never know.
