What’s a strong female, really ?

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

A working woman’s growth, smart life questions, cute and fun at time, very instructive quite often

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)

the MC is smart and witty, she just manages to still be herself despite the pressure of a bad wedding with a disrespectful household - okay, no one is truly evil and truly confronting her
But i enjoyed reading about a woman defining her priorities straight and using her full potential to do what she can best
She doesn’t cry or turn wicked, she seek for help in smart way, wait for no one to save her, and moves forward

Despite having the talents/ knowledge of six lifes time, there’s so much in front of the MC that it’s not too bothersome, her personality and determination are nice, but what makes it special is the way she handles relationship without rebellious or vengeful way, but instead respect and desire to contribute to the betterment of female characters - she is practical and solution oriented, she also truly feels mature in a good way

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
