All the Single Ladies (and Taken Ones, Too)

ROOM 607 - Authors

Sunday June 2, 2019 - 12:00 pm to 12:50 pm


In a society that often wants to boil women's sexual experiences into the polar opposites of innocence or experience, romance novels are the largest cultural space available for women to read about and explore their own sexual identity (versus what the patriarchal expectation of being a good woman was all about). Authors discuss stereotypes of sexual power structures, slut-shaming, and how they employ their works to dismantle them.
