Welcome to our very first, full length episode! Today we're exploring What Women Want in that mixed space between the modern phenomenon of Galantines' Day and Valentine's Day. Uploaded on February 13, Galantine's Day, we wanted to celebrate women, women's writing, and talk about all the dreams and desires that women have in literature of the nineteenth century.
We talk about Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Gaskell's (very under-rated!) Sylvia's Lovers, and Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, and the many adaptations that women's literature have enjoyed in he C21st and how it speaks to modern audiences!
