Bree's review

Jun 04, 2018

really liked it

bookshelves: lgbtqia, nonfiction

Not as much lesbian content as I would’ve liked (especially for a book with the word “lesbian” in the subtitle), but a fascinating examination of mysticism in early modern culture nonetheless.

Also, I want to read so much more analysis on Benedetta and her lover because there is just so much to unpack there.
