Women and Same-Sex Marriage in Western History (Reprise) - The Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast Episode 346

Women and Same-Sex Marriage in Western History (Reprise) The Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast - Episode 346 with Heather Rose Jones

In this episode we talk about strategies for getting your historical protagonists hitched across the centuries.

• How the concepts of “women”, “same-sex”, and “marriage” are being defined for the purpose of this discussion
• Cultures that may have supported marriage between women as an equal option
• Cases of same-sex marriage enabled by presenting as an opposite sex couple
• The permeability of the “opposite sex” requirement in actual practice
• Using the forms and rituals of marriage, even when the legal status was not available
• This topic is discussed in one or more entries of the Lesbian Historic Motif Project here:
  • Marriage between women
  • Female husbands
