Hello! I spent a while (two months) writing up a list of literary fiction by and about women who love women. Some of it is by bisexuals (eg., Djuna Barnes, Carson McCullers) who were bisexual but primarily loved women. It's all "literary", not genre (so no fantasy, science-fiction, light-hearted romances). It's copy-pasted from my Substack, thought folks here might appreciate it.
