The Well of Loneliness
Author: Radclyffe Hall
Originally published in 1928, Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness is the timeless story of a lesbian couple's struggle to be accepted by "polite" society. Shockingly candid for its time, this novel was the very first to condemn homophobic society for its unfair treatment of gays and lesbians.

Helpful Score: 4
Originally "published in 1928, "The Well of Loneliness" was the first novel to portray fully the life of a lesbian woman--and the ostracism she suffers."

This classic was banned when it was first published in England. This should be on the bookshelf of any lesbian that enjoys literature.
