philippa gregory co-authored a book "the women of the cousins' war" - it was very interesting temeraire Send a noteboard - 16/08/2012 07:54:50 PM
consisted of several essays by historians attempting to collect information on the prominent women involved. trying to find the women in history is difficult, as they were not given much place in the mainstream texts, and are mostly found in the background of letters and stories that are on the sidelines. the historians had to dig for the information in order to attempt to compile a cohesive narrative.

i also read her historical fiction, which was nice and fictiony, haha.

Firstly, Camilla is a she. Secondly, though I won't speak for her, regarding the rape in the novels, Ghavrel - 14/08/2012 02:23:19 AM 2329 Views
When does he use rape in an erotic manner? A Deathwatch Guard - 14/08/2012 05:48:59 AM 2182 Views

I for one never saw any of the rapes as erotic imlad - 21/08/2012 05:04:11 PM 2461 Views

How is that a violent rape? At worst it would be statutory rape. Cannoli - 17/08/2012 11:53:44 AM 2252 Views
The wedding night is statutory. I would describe the later rapes as fairly violent. Camilla - 17/08/2012 12:13:26 PM 2283 Views
That was her only sex scene, until she induces him to have outdoor sex to get pregnant Cannoli - 17/08/2012 07:20:09 PM 2275 Views
It is not necessary to provide a scene Camilla - 17/08/2012 10:49:20 PM 2173 Views
I believe that what is happening here is called confirmation bias *NM* Kotagg - 21/08/2012 06:23:38 PM 1216 Views

I think you misread one part Dark Knight - 14/08/2012 04:51:34 PM 2388 Views
I think that the Rhaegar and Lyanna stuff does look like rape in the first book Stephen - 14/08/2012 08:10:27 PM 2177 Views
"Looks like" is this case meaning "explicitly stated to be that way"? Cannoli - 17/08/2012 11:56:48 AM 2132 Views

I think the TV series handles the problematic Dany/Drogo relationship better Werthead - 17/08/2012 12:20:16 AM 2284 Views
Re: I think the TV series handles the problematic Dany/Drogo relationship better Camilla - 17/08/2012 06:40:12 AM 2175 Views
I think it messed it up by showing forced intercourse without the verbal consent Drogo DID obtain Cannoli - 17/08/2012 12:07:14 PM 2235 Views
I still find it difficult to read it as anything other than a coerced consent Stephen - 17/08/2012 01:08:15 PM 2090 Views
A perpetrator-less crime then. Cannoli - 17/08/2012 07:26:26 PM 2223 Views

Don't lock it! Dan - 21/08/2012 05:11:34 AM 1169 Views
Yes, I'm aware, or I might have locked it already. Legolas - 21/08/2012 06:17:29 PM 1039 Views
I'd ask that you do lock it. Stephen - 21/08/2012 10:00:48 PM 1111 Views
