Boston marriage

For the play by David Mamet, see Boston Marriage (play).

A Boston marriage was, historically, the cohabitation of two women who were 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; others were not.
