Lesbiana

Lesbiana, obviously translated into the English language as lesbian, it is the most universal way to name homosexual women, ie women who show an inclination for erotic-affective relationships with people of the same sex. The word lesbian has its origin in the name of the Greek island of Lesbos, where the poet Sappho lived in the 5th century BC, whose literature focuses on the beauty of women and the proclamation of her love for them. There are other words like lesbiana that have been incorporated into colloquial speech in Valencian, such as Bollera, Tortillera, etc.
