Summary

Radclyffe Hall's "The Well of Loneliness," a seminal work in lesbian literature, was subject to legal battles over obscenity in both the UK and US due to its candid depiction of lesbianism. Ultimately, the UK trial led to its censorship while the US trial ended with the novel's free circulation, highlighting societal and legal disparities towards women's clothing and same-sex relationships at the time.
