What Women Want is a series I started in college with my roommate. We only posted three unedited podcasts, but the idea has been calling to me and I wanted to breathe new life into it.

The goal of What Women Want is to take a critical look at what the narrative has to say about women and romance, what is desirable or excusable.
I am going through the book trying to notice a few key things:

1. The Female Main Character’s self image
2. The Female Main Character’s view of the Male Main Character
3. How the FMC and MMC treat each other, particularly, How the MMC treats the FMC and how she moves past grievances.
4. Family Dynamics for both MCs, how the inform the narrative
5. Power Dynamics between the MMC and FMC
6. Purity and Virginity Culture (if applicable, it usually is)
7. What does the narrative as a whole have to say about love and relationships?

As I do this, I will pull out the examples I find and provide my reasoning to why I believe it informs a broader idea of love and relationships.
