I have to admit that I'm not mad on Regency stories with female leads - basically because - in order to fit the feisty heroine that people seem to love they make them completely anachronistic. What I adore about Lizzy and Becky Sharp and others of the books is that they were memorable women, some strong, some not, but of their time and living in that time. I wish there were more people attempting to write realistic women in the same way we are trying hard to write realistic gay men.
