She is to be heartless in this. No sentimental stuff about courting. No empathy for either boy or baby. She has a life to live and no one is to get in her way. And if the boy or man doesn’t “get it” then no sex for him; “making love” becomes “having sex.” “I’m not ‘having sex’ with any jerk who doesn’t believe I can kill his son or daughter at my whim. He has no say in it because it’s my body!”
I read a lot of women’s fiction(romance) and over the decades I’ve seen the above thinking in the heroines. I no longer read as much of it as I used to because feminist fantasy has taken over much of the genre and even the historical romances has heroines thinking such feminist thoughts.
yes I’m a woman btw.
What a horrible loss. I used to like Danielle Steel…don't know who is writing her stuff now, it's dreadful.
I do too. I read Bertrice Small because in her books the women are strong, smart and for the most part attractive. In each and every one of them though the women believe in marriage and the family.
