Tearing up over a non-fiction book is new. It touches me so much what Frances Burney had to go through as a writer because of the patriarchy!

This is one of the best non-fiction Books I‘ve ever read. And believe me I studied literature and read Lots of non-fiction about literature. The chapter about Ann Radcliffe was great. I love her and now I wanna reread The Mysteries of Udolpho!!

Back then the patriachy already was a shit show. Women shouldn‘t read novels because they could decide not to marry because the novels would show other standards of love and the behavior of men. Well. Nothing new. Seems to be the case nowadays too. Women don‘t owe men anything.

It‘s like the author sees me. I so feel her words about reading and book collecting in the introduction!
