Event Details

Michelle Altieri, Professor of Communications at County College of Morris, will explore how romance novels, far from being frivolous, are about empowering women, exhibiting nontoxic masculinity, and embracing sexuality.  Using novel excerpts by Julia Quinn, Diana Gabaldon, Nora Roberts, and others, we will take a closer look at the value of romance, and how the genre is providing space for all generations of women to love others (and themselves) fiercely and unapologetically.

This is part of Who Wants to Talk? - a series of online conversations moderated by Library Director Karen Brodsky.  All are welcome to join the discussion.

The program will be held virtually by Zoom.  Registration is requested.
