We finally read After Sappho, by Selby Wynn Schwartz. Centered on dozens of women artists, writers, activists, feminists, and sapphists, from the late 19s century to the interwar period, this novel merges history and fiction to celebrate how those women connected, influenced one another, fought for their rights, played with gender norms, and overall tried to create a space for themselves in a world ruled by men.
