Four sapphic women from history to know this Lesbian Day of Visibility!

In 15th-century Korea, SA BANGJI, an intersex woman, had a ten-year relationship with another woman, Lady Yi. Sadly, we only know about Sa Bangji because she was prosecuted when the relationship was discovered. In 1988, her story was adapted in the Korean film Sa Bangji.

19th-century English landowner ANNE LISTER devised a secret code to record the intimate details of her love affairs with women. Anne wrote 6600 pages, or almost 4 million words of diaries, giving us a treasure trove of information about her life, and one of the only first-hand accounts we have of female same-sex relationships in the 19th century.

In the Nazi-occupied Netherlands, lesbian cellist FRIEDA BELINFANTE forged ID cards to help Jewish people go into hiding, and raised money for Jewish artists who were not allowed to work under Nazi laws. Frieda never hid her sexuality, and had relationships with several women throughout her life.

Self-identified “Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet”, US writer AUDRE LORDE explored the intersections of these identities in her work. She focussed her activism on fighting for women who, like her, were excluded from mainstream feminism, whether because of class, race, sexuality, or disability.
