Bluestocking babes





I seem to find romance novels on the internet wherever I go - I swear I'm not looking for them!



The Bluestockings live on today... in the form of "Zebra Regency Romance" heroines.












"Many romance novel heroines are bluestockings. Other members of society may look down on them for this decidedly unfashionable trait, but not the hero."
~Anne Mallory, romance novel writer
