@_jennasayquoi: I’ve had a few people ask about Boston Marriages, so here’s a quick little summary! Some refer to the upcoming relationship of Francesca and Michaela in #Bridgerton as a Boston Marriage. The term came much later in #thegildedage in the US, but it today it’s used to describe many 18th & 19th century relationships. #tiktokcampaign #WomenInHistory #francescabridgerton
Pretty sure my great aunt lived in a Boston marriage for 45 years.

My wife’s great aunt had a female companion. They lived in New Orleans where they were both teachers. They had portraits taken which we have framed & are hanging with our wedding portrait. We come from a long line of lesbians.

Didn't James Buchanan have a "Boston" marriage with his best friend?

I love how examples of this type of relationship still exist today, like the aunts with the "best friend" she lived with and everyone just knew.

I want to hear more 💖. Anne Lister and Ann Walker's story is pretty interesting as well. That story has been covered by mainstream more though, so most people are probably more familiar with it

Sarah Orne Jewetts Country of the Pointed Firs is perfect. Not much plot, all Maine vibes.

The book Finding Flora, by Elinor Florence, features two characters in a Boston marriage. It’s a fascinating, delightful work of historical fiction!
