@rosiehharte: In 1844, 10-year-old Emily Pepys had a very strange dream… luckily for us, she wrote it down in her diary 📔 #History #19thcentury #victorianera #lgbtqhistory

I actually made a collage a couple of years ago that incorporated part of this text along with other 19th century sapphic writings. She’s near the top of the left panel.

I would interpret it as her passage from childhood to adulthood, but sure yes qe have always existed

Damn, the Pepyses stay being diarists huh

Taika Tori :

That wasn’t “same sex attraction”….since when are things to be taken literally? 🙄😵‍💫. She was marring her own higher self…that’s self love. And dream symbolism is something you should look into before making cheap literal interpretations. Many women these dats Mary thenselves symbolically as a sign of choosing themselves. Emily was just ahead of her time
