I feel like after finding about two or three sources it became a lot harder to find sources. There were plenty of sources available, it just wasn’t what I was aiming for. The sources also became longer in length so it took longer to read through all the sources. It also became a little annoying when I would find a source I thought I would really like, but then when it began to analyze something I found that it didn’t fit what I needed. So far, I’m finding a lot of information on societal standards of women today, and while it’s good to have maybe one or two articles to show how it’s relevant to today, it’s hard not to include everything I find. It’s also been a little difficult to find things on the time period of my primary text. Sometimes it get irritating when I type something in and it excludes the time period. I feel like so far I’ve seen that feminists don’t like the romance genre that much. I consider myself a feminist and I also love romance so I’m in a weird middle ground. I think that it’s more towards how it was presented in the time, which a lot of these articles are from between the 1960s to early 2000s, so it was presented differently than it is now. I found a source I really liked which was written by Joanne Hollows, so hopefully I can incorporate something in my final paper.
