FEMINIST NOVELS? GEORGE ELIOT

According to Jenny Uglow, author, there is still a question of if it was George Eliot's intent to write "feminist" novels.  She personally associated with some feminist of her day, Victorian feminists. In her writing, she portrayed oppressed women, submissive women, and she personally was supposed to be uninterested in marriage as a young woman, rejecting a marriage that might be arranged - or at least suggested.

I personally had some unanswered questions reading this book. I have wondered if perhaps George Eliot's relationship with G.H. Lewes was chaste.  If not, what did she do to prevent becoming a mother?  Is it possible that George and G.H. Lewes were not heterosexual?

THE RESULTS OF A SEXUAL IDENTITY POLL? HUMAN EXPERIENCE IS INFINITE!

The label you choose may also be about your GENERATION.  This site has terms categorized by BABY BOOMER,  GENERATION X,  MILLENNIALS, and GENERATION Z.

This site also has some information on non conforming gender or sexuality and suicide.  The more support we give young people who are in a stage of self discovery the better.

EXCERPT: At the same time, some gender nonbinary people say the term "bisexual" excludes them, and instead prefer "pansexual" even as some transgender men and women say that term invalidates their gender identity.  And many question whether asexuals deserve to be included in a community of minorities that face legal discrimination and violence.
