A triumph of clear thinking, wide knowledge, and astute reading. Darwin rightly called On the Origin of Species one long argument. As a feminist and an evolutionist, Grant begins with one long argument showing the value of romantic love and romantic fiction for feminists and everybody else, before her subtle close readings reveal just how much we can learn from two of the most successful of romantic fictions, Pride and Prejudice and Sex in the City.

"Evolution, Feminism, and Romantic Fiction cements Ania Grant as the preeminent voice on romantic storytelling. Merging feminist theory with bio-cultural insights, Grant reveals powerful connections between Pride and Prejudice and Sex and the City, redefining the role of women's agency, individuality, and romance across history. Revolutionary, insightful, and unforgettablethis book will be an essential reference for years to come."
