     @MK2boogaloo @hidden nope! i think femininity comprises of a bit more than just having long hair, baking, and reading copious amounts of romance novels...

     @hidden @MK2boogaloo
     
     obviously there's your classics. your pride and prejudices, your jane eyres, your north and souths. i'm fond of victorian era romance novels but tbh people talk about them a lot so i won't really go into a full recommendation list (pride and prejudice still remains my favorite novel ever and austen is the GOAT).
     
     
     i think if you wanted a leechseed deepcut, the works of sigrid undset, a nobel prize winning author, are something i'm very fond of. they're pretty dark in tone. to quote St. Edith, "sigrid undset will strip the scales from your eyes." i think a lot of what passes for romance tries to sell people on delusions. undset does the opposite imo - an example is in her work ida elisabeth, where its eponymous character, ida elisabeth, ends up reaping what she sowed but ALSO the suffering from the stupid stuff she did ends up being the means for purification for herself and her love. plus i think the character drama is mad interesting, but i'm not going to spoil the whole book.
     
     i'm not too into whether a work is historically accurate, but iirc undset's works (usually set in medieval scandinavia, like the master of hestviken and kristin lavransdatter) are fairly accurate if that's something you care about.
