Cohabitation of two women, independent of financial support from a man
For the play by David Mamet, see Boston Marriage (play).
A "Boston marriage" was, historically, the cohabitation of two wealthy women, independent of financial support from a man. The term is said to have been in use in New England in the late 19th–early 20th century. Some of these relationships were romantic in nature and might now be considered a lesbian relationship; others were not.[1]
