The other morning on the subway I sat next to an attractive young blonde woman who was reading something on her iPad. She was very well-dressed, carrying a Prada bag with tastefully appli

29、ed make-up indeed, she had an unmistakable air of wealth, material success and even authority. I suspected she worked as a highly-paid Wall Street lawyer or stockbroker or something of that sort. So, I was curious to see what she was so focused on. The Wall Street Journal perhaps? The Economist?Quit

30、e the contrary; rather, she was concentrating on a romance novel. Then I realized that I have known many women who love romance novelssmart, attractive, successful, “liberated,” modem females who nonetheless find some kind of deep satisfaction and thrill from those hyper-romantic, artificial and ext

31、remely unrealistic tales of handsome, manly heroes falling in love with virginal women, enduring a series of adventures, then no doubt having a happy ending.These romance stories are to literature what hot dogs are to fine food.

A romance author named Donna Hatch who focuses on the Regency period (early 19th century

36、 Britain) explained the appeal of such books this way: “Regency men were civilized and treated women with courtesy. When a lady entered the room, gentlemen stood, doffed their hats, offered an arm, bowed, and a hundred other little things I wish men still did today. But they were also very athletic;

37、 they hunted, raced, boxed, rode horses. They were manly. Strong. Noble. Honorable. And that is why I love them!”Mrs. Hatch may have expressed the secret desires and attitudes of untold millions of her peers-that is, in the early 21st century, have women grown tired of the burdens and expectations t

38、hat the “freedoms” they have gained give them? Is this a rejection of modem feminism? Do women long for days of old when men were masculine gentlemen and women were feminine and protected as precious treasures and regarded as possessions?Perhaps most women (even the ones who get lost in romance novels) do not want to go all the way back but it is obvious, .58.
