“The love story between the hero and the heroine has to be at the center of the book. I think that's pretty true in my books. I usually write a secondary love story, with maybe nontraditional characters. Sometimes I write older characters. I'm interested in female friendships, and family relationships. So I don't write the traditional romance, where you just have the hero and the heroine's love story. I like intertwining relationships.” ThinkingWritingBookSometimesCharacterStoriesRomanceHeroFemaleLove StoryTraditionalHeroinesFemale FriendshipFamily RelationshipFriendship And Family Author:Susan Elizabeth Phillips
“For women to be supplying the soldiery with banners, flannel shirts and other material comforts was, superficially, all of a piece with their ministrations to their menfolk at home. Such contributions to the war effort were socially acceptable because they could be seen as an extension into the military sphere of the traditional female virtues of charity, nurture and needlework. Yet in reality what the women were doing represented the thin end of a far more radical wedge. Consciously or not, these female patriots were staking out a civic role for themselves. And many of them relished it.” WarEndsHomeRealityEffortRolesVirtuePiecesMilitaryMaterialsComfortFemaleCharityTraditionalRadicalShirtsContributionSpheresAcceptablePatriotNurtureExtensionsCivicsBannerBritish HistoryWedgesFlannelsNeedlework Author:Linda Colley

“It's really important to have life strategies and part of that is sort of knowing where you want to go so you can have a map that helps you to get there. And the traditional way tells us oh we get into school and someone else advises us, helps us, but that often does not work for African Americans female and male.

“On the question of women's sexual freedom or female independence, there are still issues that haven't been worked out. There's an aura of traditional gender roles that is not talked about that really permeates these conversations. There is this vacillation between a desire for independence and having the kinds of sexual freedom that men have and, on the other side, issues about female vulnerability and susceptibility to male aggression and violence. We need more honesty about the actual conditions in which sex is happening.” MenNeedsKindStillsDesireSexSidesRolesIssuesViolenceConditionsHavensHonestyConversationHappeningsFemaleIndependenceMalesGenderTraditionalVulnerabilityAggressionGender RolesAurasSusceptibilityVacillationAggression And Violence Author:Laura Kipnis
