Inhaltsangabe

Long before clinch covers and bodice rippers, romance novels had a bad reputation as the lowbrow lit of desperate housewives and hopeless spinsters. But why were these books—the escape and entertainment of choice for millions of women—singled out for scorn and shame?

Dangerous Books for Girls examines the secret history of the genre’s bad reputation—from the “damned mob of scribbling women” in the nineteenth century to the sexy mass-market paperbacks of the twentieth century—and shows how romance novels have inspired and empowered generations of women to dream big, refuse to settle, and believe they’re worth it.

For every woman who has ever hidden the cover of a romance—and every woman who has been curious about those “Fabio books”—Dangerous Books For Girls shows why there’s no room for guilt when reading for pleasure.

This New & Expanded Edition includes a new foreword (Are Romance Novels Still Dangerous Books?) and essay (The Truth About Historical Accuracy).

Featuring interviews with Courtney Milan, Eloisa James, Sarah Wendell of Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, cover artist Jon Paul and other authors, editors and reviewers.
