Writing a book about a 20th century woman, as historical fiction. I'm pretty sure she was gay and partnered though I can't find any mention of it through her diaries except when referring to certain people by initials and others full names. i.e. "I wrote to CL today" with a little smiley face. Have not been able to get a response from any family members and am researching work acquaintances--she herself died in the 1970's and most of her peers would be gone as well. How far should I push this? It would be a very interesting aspect of her personal life but it gives me pause. Any suggestions or opinions?
