Abstract
This chapter analyses the historical medical and legal context of Ellis’ work in order to assess his thoughts on female homosexuals. It argues that Ellis’ work on female sexual inversion was much less a matter of stigmatising lesbians, than of negotiating specific medical debates about sex, and sexual inverts and women’s role in society.
| Additional Information: | The annual Lesbian Lives conference has been held in University College Dublin since 1993. The success of the conference held in 2006 entitled 'Historicising the Lesbian' inspired this collection of essays. |
