The Literary Lesbian Society

Here's an example of the changing meaning of words. As the text below explains (from Frank Gluth's history of Oak Harbor), in 1903, one could still use "lesbian" in a non-sexual way. But the latest reference I can find to the club is from 1964, an era when other meanings of the word became dominant.

If there were male lesbians, I assume there were female members of the brotherhood.
