184 Love, Marriage, and Feminist Pair-Bonding

Feminism, Sex, and Gender•Capitol B• Sunday, 4:00-5:15 p.m.

Last year's fairy tale panel included a spirited discussion on the fact that many traditional fairy tales end with a marriage. Even subversively rewritten fairy tales (such a "CinderEdna") frequently wind up with a marriage — though it's between people better suited to each other — and many books that would be shelved well outside the Romance section find their happy ending from pair-bonding as well. Is this inherently unfeminist? Are there books that deal intensely with relationships that don't feel the need to tie a tidy romantic bow at the end? What do feminist relationships look like?
