From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of poets portraying sexual relations between women, who may include both lesbians and other WSW. The major poetic works depicting relationship among women are shown next to the respective poet's name in italics.

Notably, the word "lesbian" derives from Lesbos, due to the description of female homosexual love prominently featured in the poetry of Sappho of Lesbos.
