Fascinating, I love this theme and there is so much context here that I was unaware of. Austen definitely transcends gender boundaries in her writing, and it’s fascinating to unpack why and how.

Fascinating and enlightening, thank you! The Harry Styles Vogue cover completely passed me by (how?!); as a previous Vogue subscriber and PR by trade I can’t quite believe I missed such a big media moment...though I was in the midst of all-consuming early motherhood in 2020! Thank you for re-issuing your post and bringing me up to speed on a very important discussion...

I loved this newsletter, and it was great to re-read it. I love how gender norms have been subverted throughout the years by literary and historical figures - and how they link to modern pop culture :)
