Hey Counter-Culture blog!
There is some really great analysis here of how gender socialization domesticates women. You will need to make sure that you connect those ideas back to the assignment question about romance: how romantic tropes are used to sell things [review the Hollows chapter on Romantic Fiction carefully, she very carefully lays them out for you], and keep women in a subordinate social position. A great example of the analysis of romance appears in these ads as an ideological mechanism takes place in Goldilocks' response to "A Difficult Marriage" - if you're not sure about what the question asks you to do, have a look at that to see how s/he connects the ad to broader social structures. Make sure that the very good analysis your doing already gets directed to the assignment question.
