2. I belong to a reading group sponsored by the Victorian Popular Fiction Association called the Third Sex Reading Group; it reads books from the long 19th century about LGBTQA+ issues. I attended for the first time this September, and it was a fantastic experience. One of the editors of this book, Margaret Breen, participated in the session and talked about her experience tracking down biographical details of Duc and the process of translating the work.
Are They Women?: A Novel Concerning the Third Sex by Aimée Duc
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
As a novel, this is pretty terrible. Not much plot to speak of. Everyone just sits around and pontificates about the nature of women and same-sex attraction. However, as a window into 19th-century arguments about gender, marriage, and sexuality, it is invaluable and utterly fascinating.

3. Go read Romancing the Beast: Embracing Monstrousness in Romantic SFF by Victoria Janssen, an excellent essay about writing romance into speculative fiction.
4. Go read I've seen your face before, my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am by HMSLusitania
