Lesbian literature

Lesbian literature is a subgenre of literature addressing lesbian themes. It includes poetry, plays, fiction addressing lesbian characters, and non-fiction about lesbian-interest topics. A similar term is sapphic literature, encompassing works that feature love between women that are not necessarily lesbian.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Fiction that falls into this category may be of any genre, such as historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, horror, and romance.
