S04.47: Antiheroines in Romance

Published: Aug. 10, 2022, 2:52 p.m.

It's our final interstitial of Season 4 and we\u2019re talking antiheroines! If she\u2019s a criminal, a grifter, a villain or a generally bad dude, we\u2019re here for her, we support her, and we\u2019re rooting for her to fall in love! Today we\u2019re talking about the way antiheroines play in romance, about how we hold them to different standards than antiheroes (it\u2019s the patriarchy, that\u2019s why!), and about why they seem to be more prevalent in historicals and paranormals than they are in contemporaries. Please tell us about all the bad b*tches in books you love so we can love them, too!
