Good day, lords and ladies… in this episode, Lena and Nadine dive into their first true historical romance novel of the pod, complete with a classic bodice-ripper style cover, high-class Victorian English slang, and an unsurprising but still disappointing dearth of respect for women.
Could a steamboat cross the Atlantic Ocean in six days in 1863? Could a woman ever possibly get away with sporting a pixie cut as a Victorian duchess? And what is a hoyden, anyway? Apologies to the historical romance buffs out there, but we are way out of our depth.
The trans Pride & Prejudice retelling Nadine mentioned is Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa.
