The Suffragette Scandal

I like Courtney Milan. "I will ease you into a nice Regency romance series," she says to unsuspecting readers. "Oh, there are a few ladies who are spunky, but overall, we're just going to have a nice time and talk about proper manners and not really subvert the genre all that much." The reader reads on. "Well, yes, this lady is actually a scientist, and I'm going to make a point about women in science that holds true today. And, yes, the next book is about a suffragette, but we're all in favor of women voting anyway." And then BAM she's like "also, there are lesbians" and "hey, look at this modern commentary," and I'm just saying, I have started to love these books very, very much.
