While lesbian literature can trace its name back to the Greek poet Sappho, who was born on the Island of Lesbos in 630 B. C., it was not until the past century that the genre really gained popularity. More lesbian poems, novels and plays, as well as secondary literature, have been produced during the last one hundred years than during all the previous centuries put together.
