I've wanted to ask this because as far as I know The Price of Salta aka Carol is the first classic book that had a lesbian happy ending but I really want to know if there are other books that aren't neccesarily too recent on relationship involving queer woman or have queer women as characters somewhere. I don't mind non-fiction but by preference fictional books would be nice

Fried green tomatoes is a lesbian classic
Master of Djinn or Gideon the Ninth is you like Fantasy
Last Night at the Telegraph Club for YA/Historical Fiction
Haunting of Hill House for horror
The Color Purple or Orlando for “classics”
The Kate Martinelli mysteries by Laurie King… for mystery, duh
and… [America is Not the Heart by Elaine Castillo ](https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2889274519)
Not entirely unproblematic but RubyFruit Jungle by Rita May Brown is a very important lesbian novel of the early 70s.
