Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Romance novels have been criticized as reinforcing sexist stereotypes and distracting women from realizing their full potential. Defenders argue that they present empowering images of women and subvert patriarchal power structures. This study analyzed 13 contemporary, single-title romance novels. The novels do portray some gender equality, at least from a liberal feminist point of view. However, obsession with control as evidence of deeply-rooted, structural patriarchy continues unnoticed, just as it does in real life.
