Dear @HillaryClinton, I also loved @The_Julia_Kelly's feminist sculptor in The Look of Love. You should really check it out. https://t.co/MX0xEbQFov #RomanceNovelsForHillary

I love the idea of suggesting #RomanceNovelsForHillary. I think she should start with A Week to Be Wicked by @TessaDare and Sleeping Beauty by Judith Ivory.

We are writing stories right now in support of the resistance. Check out @TessaDare's The Duchess Deal. #NeverthelessShePersisted #RomanceNovelsForHillary

Her works are both an escape and a reality check. #RomanceNovelsForHillary

Aside from being an excellent list to stretch any reader’s TBR, the books recommended go far beyond any of Clinton’s expectations for the genre. In fact, the collected list is a perfect slice of the modern romance genre: alive, thriving, and constantly evolving. So yes, occasionally a heroine still gets tossed onto a horse. But these days she’s just as likely to pick up the reins and ride for herself. Maybe not towards the sunset, but definitely towards a better future. Because that’s the promise of truly feminist romance novels: you don’t just get to live happily ever after, you get to do it on your own terms. And on your own horse. I would think that’s something that Hillary Clinton could appreciate.Romancelandia: let's suggest some #RomanceNovelsForHillary via @mayarodale https://t.co/G6MVjjtMGn
