Woman - Lesbian, Gala wallpapers: Lesbian describes a homosexual woman. The term can be used as either both a noun or as an adjective. The word lesbian originally referred to an inhabitant of Lesbos, an island in Greece where an ancient Greek lyric poet named Sappho lived. Some of her poems imply love between women. Whether Sappho was a lesbian in the modern meaning of the term or a poet who described lesbians is not known. Although she did write poems about love between women, there is some dispute as to how her writings can be interpreted. Sapphos literary association with love between women led to the term Sapphism as another term for lesbianism. Other words used to describe lesbianism over the past 200 years have included Amor lesbicus, urningism and tribadism. There are many slang terms for lesbians including dyke and bulldyke. Both of the former are almost always regarded as pejorative when used by outsiders but many within the lesbian and queer communities have reclaimed their usage.
