Bitch Magazine, which, of course, I ABSOFRICKIN’LUTELY LOVE, did an interview with me all about Bosoms, romance, and why women get snide remarks for reading romance novels: You Read Harlequin? Me Too!
My favorite part:
MV: Why should feminists read romance novels?
SW: It’s a 50-plus-year-old industry comprised mostly of women writers operating their own businesses and producing a genre about women’s self-actualization, pursuit of autonomy, and acquisition of sexual agency for an audience made mostly of women, who buy over $1.4 billion dollars worth of books a year. No, no, nothing feminist or even subversive about that.
