Romance novels are political because they are stories typically by, for, and starring women, showing how personal experiences intersect with broader societal issues.
Historically, publishing has designated serious political writing as a male domain, making the feminist perspective of women’s experiences in romance crucial for social understanding.
While there are problematic tropes within romance literature reinforcing patriarchal norms, true revolutionary narratives are emerging that challenge these conventional representations and empower voices.
The personal is political, and romance stories depict the struggles for love and agency in a society that prioritizes men's desires and experiences over others.
