Books with women being nice, lovable, faithful, virtuous, not man-hating that are also not be about them caught up between good and fair Brad and dark and brooding Chad?

Yuri, collectively, as a genre. No guarantees they won't get caught up between good and fair Bri and dark and brooding Chi.

I never noticed that the action of this painting is almost explicitly supernatural, the horse is mid-stride how was she able to tie the knot around his arm? She would have had to start wrapping it while his arm was out of reach.
>>

Does the good faithful loving woman have to be the main character? Does she have to be the main woman? Does the book have to be written by a man?
>>
>>25288665
>the horse is mid-stride
The flag is falling forward. No, it isn't.
>>
>>25288682
Also does there have to be actual romance during the book or can the woman either be on her own or meet the man at the end or be waiting for the man during the book?

The hind leg is in a state of flexion and besides, the supernatural movement of fabrics seems to be precisely at issue.
>>

>The hind leg is in a state of flexion
So the horse has taken a step back. What of it? Seems like a bit of a crowd outside the portcullis. The position of the lady's feet also indicate she approached from toward the wall, not up the stairs, which means she wasn't trying to match the knight as he approached the wall, making it more likely the knight is stopped or backing up.

>>25288682
>Does the good faithful loving woman have to be the main character? Does she have to be the main woman?
No as long as there are women like that and their virtue is appreciated and they are not cynically portrayed as naive or foolish but brave.
>Does the book have to be written by a man?
No
>>25288717
>Also does there have to be actual romance during the book or can the woman either be on her own or meet the man at the end or be waiting for the man during the book?
it can be about anything as long as the women are like that. If there is romance they should be faithful with no love triangle or emotional cheating bs.

Lord of the rings technically but women characters don't show up much

Why do you think men are likable?
>>
>>25288835
Close your legs honey I can smell you from here
>>
>>25288848
>men are likable because we can do offensive quips and oneliners
Ponder on the question. Are men likable? Is it an a priori belief that you have, or is it rooted in reality?
>>
>>25288858
What? Men shouldn't be likeable. That's not the issue, the tuna-shit stench is.

>>25288644
read harold covingtons northwest novels. there are many good women in them, and also many bad women

>>25288682
>Does the book have to be written by a man
so it seems
so it seems

Sense and Sensibility

>>25288835
Cuz men are more interesting than women and interesting people are liked more. More women are boring than men.
>>
>>25288644
the brigade by harold covington has
* a woman who divorce rapes her husband by reporting him for calling her girlfriend a squaw dyke because she wants to follow the feminist life plan where you get your first divorce at this age, secure the child support bag, have an affair with a woman, then get in with the rich and powerful
* an fbi agent who rode some marines dick into the country, accused him of domestic violence for a green card, then got a free college degree and joined the political police
* a latina cop on the hate crimes task force who exclusively has sexual relations with white men
* a whore who sneaks into the terrorist army by acting reformed and responding in a genuine manner to the way the terrorists forgive her for having been a whore, and almost gets everyone rolled on by the fbi
* and also some married women who work with their husbands
>>
>>25288971
That's the exact opposite of OP
>>
>>25289023
well as feminists say well behaved women dont make history. but behind every successful man is a bunch of women nagging him and threatening him with child support orderss

Hmmm . . . Well here are a dozen novels with sympathetic virtuous women (OK, females). Their virtue isn't always appreciated as much as it should be though.

FEMALE PROTAGONIST
~ Charlotte Bronte, ‘Jane Eyre’ [LITTLE BIT OF "SHE MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN BRAD & CHAD" AT THE END BUT THERE'S NEVER ANY CHOICE REALLY]
~ Jane Austen, ‘Mansfield Park’ [LOTS OF PEOPLE HATE FANNY PRICE BUT SHE IS GREAT. THE QUINTESSENTIAL ANTI-GIRLBOSS]
~ Mark Twain, ‘Personal Memories Of Joan Of Arc’ [NO ROMANCE]
~ Daniel Woodrell, ‘Winter’s Bone’ [NO ROMANCE. MAYBE NOT WHAT YOU WANT BUT REE IS VERY LIKEABLE]
~ Mary Webb, ‘Precious Bane’
~ Charles Dickens, ‘Little Dorrit’ [AMY DORRIT IS SUPER-VIRTUOUS BUT THE BOOK DOES GO ON A BIT. DICKENS HAS VIRTUOUS FEMALES IN MORE READABLE BOOKS, E.G. AGNES IN ‘DAVID COPPERFIELD’, LUCY IN ‘A TALE OF TWO CITIES', ETC]

MALE PROTAGONIST MARRIES A BETTER WOMAN THAN HE DESERVES
~ Pearl S. Buck, ‘The Good Earth’

MALE PROTAGONIST, SYMPATHETIC VIRTUOUS LOVE INTEREST BUT SHE IS ONLY A MINOR CHARACTER
~ R. D. Blackmore, ‘Lorna Doone’
~ Alexandre Dumas, ‘The Count Of Monte Cristo’
~ Joseph Conrad, ‘Lord JIm’

MALE PROTAGONIST, OUTSIDE-THE-BOX ROMANCE
~ Poul Anderson, ‘The Broken Sword’ [FREDA IS GREAT BUT STILL, YOU KNOW, SIBLINGS AND ALL]
~ John Collier, ‘His Monkey Wife’ [HERO MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN EVIL SCHEMING FRIGID MANIPULATIVE FEMALE AND VIRTUOUS KIND WELL-READ FEMALE. *WARNING*: THE TITLE ISN’T LYING]

She does get a redemption arc though and goes out with a bang.

If you want a book with the vibes of your picture and not one but TWO virtuous females, there's always

— Ivanhoe (Walter Scott)

although it has to be said (since this is /lit) that one of them is Jewish.

>>25288835
Moids are not likeable, they do everything to make themselves unlikeable only to seethe and cope for eternity because no woman chooses them willingly. Every failing of a man is a result of his own actions.
>>
>>25290720
Thanks anon. I don't care if it's set in that time period. I'll take any genre if the women are as described but if you know something comfy and idyllic and rural I'd appreciate it too.
