Certainly the romantic mood appears, if somewhat dissembled, in the reading habits of the American woman; after years of listening to liberationists, she is devouring the adventures of subjugate female heroines in the heavy-breathing epics of writers like Kathleen Woodiwiss (Shanna) and Rosemary Rogers (Wicked Loving Lies).
