What is The Well of Loneliness

The Well of Loneliness is John Radclyffe Hall’s most well-known novel and is also often considered one of the most well-known examples of lesbian literature, despite the protagonist, Stephan Gordon, identifying as an invert rather than a lesbian. The novel is somewhat controversial in lesbian feminist circles because Stephan Gordon is specifically male-coded, seeming to imply that lesbian relationships need to be modeled after heterosexual relationships.
