Lesbian peoples : material for a dictionary

This book mostly takes the myths around the Amazons and adds a simple story of how lesbians came to be liberated from the current society to form their own community subdivided into tribes, with a bunch of magical elements. It's interesting how a dictionary (more like an encyclopedia really) can be read: from A to V (it doesn't go further), or at random and then by looking up recurring words. You discover the fictive world, called "the age of glory", and its story, piecemeal, as if you had a real document from this world in hand.

The definitions could be classified as such:

- a few definitions give the core of the story, like "powder", "mother", "history", "witch"

- others, a bit more numerous, give you the core of the culture and social organization of the "lesbian peoples", like "love", "orgasm", "bag", "animals", "hallucination"

- similar ones give you peripheral elements of said culture and social organization; they repeat the same traits as what is in the core, like "mushrooms", "clitore", "mouth"

- others, rather numerous but that don't contribute much besides giving the reader some familiarity with names and places from the myths around the Amazons, give names and vague details about the Amazons and its famous people, reinterpreted in the context of this book's world-building

- the few definitions left are about people and things from when the book was written — I noticed the obvious "Gouines Rouges" and a reference to Joanna Russ, but there probably are a few more-Goodreads
