What’s a strong female, really ?

Romance where the MC is on par with the ML, fun and smart

Excellent plot, that brings two women with different personality to challenge their fate and avoid being a tool for power - and about how discovering more about the life of the other, they become a greater person

A grown up story about an aristocrat widow, mother of 3 daughters of mariable age, with short assets, and how she battles to gives the best to her daughters

deeply interesting both as a reference and as a reflection on fashion, women in society, economy
It would be even better without anything romance (there’s not much, but all is too much)

It’s not about a sword or about the powers of the MC and her adoptive mother, it’s about heart and legitimacy of these strong women
It’s also a mirror to the dowager whose strength is bound by her personal struggle and greed for power and recognition born out of the unfairness of the law : the ruler can only be a male, even when a woman is better fitted -
So what is a strong woman, how is strength allowed and legitimate, there’s no real answers, but more interesting questions

A woman that seeked her independence and growth through the very unconventional path of « love counselor ». This is a romance, so it’s not much centered about her job struggles, it’s more like a background, but it’s an interesting take of someone dealing with unfair situations, an unavoidable broken heart while not only keeping dignity, but also making her own standards for living : not relying on a man to live on !

A remarquable title which entirely brings forward the question of what is true strength :
Ou MC is a young girl with a strong, yet weak and burdensome power. she makes lots of choices, and go through lots of tribulations to « find her voice « , be true to herself , and finally find her best way to what she can
