Well exactly. We didn’t know her. We can’t keep the memory of her alive because we don’t have those memories.

Sibyl: a woman in ancient times supposed to utter the oracles and prophecies of a god (literary: a woman able to foretell the future)
maw of the world = The world will eat you alive

This feels so reminiscent of the prophecy and the constant reference to cages.
She dances within the inch given, even though the prophecy has been laid.

Passages that prove to me that Taylor is our modern Sappho
I feel like all of these sentiments have been repeated about Taylor for her whole career.

Lina is often described as molten throughout the book, which I can't figure out why I feel it is related to Taylor, but I feel like it may be the reference to Te Fiti in the Karma music video, who is a volcano.
The book also refers to her high button boots and her being a poet.

There is a constant draw back to this idea of burning their house down especially in the context of attempting to escape patriarchal expectations A Trousseau is a collection of linens stored away for when she marries

There is a quote from a man named Leo Taxil from 1894 in the book, but I am unsure if it is a real or not, but it says "The number of women presently in Paris who were taken by other women is scientifically incalculable."
I cannot find the quote, but Leo Taxil was real

A lot of the book takes place in Paris, seen as a refuge for lesbians, spending time in their garden courtyards (secret gardens) away from the prying eyes of men. Natalie was the 'ring leader' of the Paris lesbians, and loved to bring the gay women she encountered into her circle
