So here I am,kicking off my QL account with most of my Recent artwork and a brand new blog. What excitement!I will be writing quite a bit of blogs soon here. Yes, the sapphist loves to rant.

Since many people may not know where the word "sapphist" comes from, I shall enlighten you!

Until the early twentieth century lesbian was interchangeable with Sapphist.The earliest known written references to same-sex love between women are attributed to Sappho (the eponym of sapphism), who lived on the island of Lesbos in ancient Greece from about 625 to 570 BCE and wrote poems which apparently expressed her sexual attraction to other females. Modern scholarship has suggested a parallel between ancient Greek pederasty and the friendships Sappho formed with her students. Lesbian relationships were also common among the Lacedaemonians of ancient Sparta. Plutarch wrote "love was so esteemed among them that girls also became the erotic objects of noble women."
