As I mentioned in passing previously, I've decided to continue the podcast fiction series for another two years before putting the project to bed. This year's Call for Submissions if functionally identical to last year's.

Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast - Episode 321 – Our F/Favorite Tropes Part 18: Mutually Oblivious - transcript

(Originally aired 2025/08/16 - listen here)

This article feels a bit oddly structured, as if three topics have been picked out of a hat and then a thesis was constructed to connect them. But it adds another angle on the topic of "how things changed" around 1900.

This seemed like an appropriate pairing for yesterday's article, although I feel like the topic has been covered to death in previous articles I've blogged.

In the 16th century, a handful of (male) French anatomists "discovered" the clitoris. And then things get really strange.

There are some historians whose field of interest overlaps the focus of the Project very solidly. Susan Lanser is one of them. I have 13 publications under her name in my database and have now blogged 10 of them. I have another in my files, but two are yet to be tracked down. And I should probably hunt down her full bibliography and see what else I haven't stumbled across yet.

This article was cross-referenced in another of Susan Lanser's articles I blogged recently, so I took that as a cue to move it up in the queue. I'll follow it with yet another Lanser take on the long 18th century.

Happy Big Round Number to the Lesbian Historic Motif Project!
