Lesbianism refers to the sexual orientation of women who are romantically and sexually attracted to other women. The term "lesbian" is derived from the Greek island of Lesbos, where the poet Sappho wrote love poems to other women. Lesbian women may identify as gay, queer, or simply as women who love women. Sexual orientation is a complex and multifaceted aspect of identity, and lesbian women may have a range of different experiences and perspectives.
