In 1948, Jeannette Howard Foster became the first librarian at the Kinsey Institute's precursor, the Institute for Sex Research, where she contributed to Alfred C. Kinsey's work on homosexuality. In 1956, she published Sex Variant Women in Literature, a full-length bibliography cataloguing hundreds of same-sex female relationships in literature. The book was controversial at the time, but proved to be a landmark in scholarship about the homosexual experience and raised general awareness of lesbianism. Indiana University East Professor Joanne Passet is the author of Sex Variant Woman: The Life of Jeannette Edward Foster, a new biography published by De Capo Press.
