The Basics

I run the Lesbrary, and I'm also on booktube and goodreads.

Check out the Lesbrary Goodreads Project for lists of les/bi/etc books by topic and genre

See the Master List of Lesbian & Bi Women Books Recommendations for my favourites!

Support Bi & Lesbian Lit and the Lesbrary on Patreon for monthly book giveaways, or buy us a coffee on ko-fi if you're feeling generous!

Mostly lesbian lit, always bi-, ace-, aro- and trans-inclusive.

Anonymous: Hi! I was wondering if you had any book recommendations written by Indian lesbians? I wanted to get a book or two for my gf's birthday

The ones I know of are 

  • Babyji by Abha Dawesar
  • My Story by Kamala Das, 
  • Facing the Mirror: Lesbian Writing from India by Ashwini Sukthankar
  • The Paths of Marriage by Mala Kumar
  • Goja: An Autobiographical Myth by Suniti Namjoshi
  • Stealing Nasreen by Farazana Doctor

Ones that I know of but am not sure of the orientation of the atuhor:

  • Kari by Amruta Patil (graphic novel)
  • The story “The Quilt” by Ismat Chughtai, included in several anthologies, first published in 1941(!)

I’ve read and really enjoyed Miss Timmins’ School for Girls by Nayana Currimbhoy, a bisexual book set in India by an Indian author, but the author isn’t a lesbian.

Hope that helps!
