"Dr. Fawcett will discuss how early bodice-rippers were written by and for women... they were in fact sources of radical experimentation."
"These early bodice-rippers were in fact sources of radical experimentation. They challenged traditional gender binaries. They made space for queer sexualities."
"The bodice-ripper isn't just the genre that gave Jane Austen all her best ideas, in other words. It's also a genre in which modern ideas about sex, gender, race, class, and privacy were formed."
