S06.36: The Romance Matriarchy: Moms, Grandmothers, and Aunties
We don\u2019t often talk about secondary characters in romance, but this week, we\u2019re talking about the women who provide wisdom, council and laughs in romance\u2014moms, grandmothers and aunties! We talk about the shocking epidemic of orphaned main characters in romance, about how extended family provides nuance in the books, and about our very favorite mothers, grandmothers, aunties and adopted older ladies in books. \n\nThanks to all the women who provide care and sage advice out in the world. We appreciate you.
