In the 19th century, Queen Victoria famously didn't pass a law to legalise same sex relations between men but it remained legal for same sex relations between women because apparently Queen Victoria didn't understand that it was physically possible.

So during my interview with academic Annie Bartlett, I wanted to know more about women in conversion therapy in the UK as all of my research has mainly evolved around men. Annie said that in her research there was only one account of a woman receiving conversion therapy.
