This stretches from all the way back from the literature of Ancient Greece up to think-pieces and Instagram posts of today, and it is this lineage that I want to trace for you now.

There are countless modern-day articles about homosexual women cutting or shaving their hair to sense closer to their culture or their community. One writer, Ella Braidwood, wrote in 2021 that “I got m
