Ep 271: All Hail the Queen — Exploring the Female Archetype in Romance

On this episode, Becky is joined by Leah and Amanda as they dive into one of the most commanding archetypes in romance—the Queen. Regal, powerful, and often the one calling the shots, the Queen archetype shows up in so many ways across subgenres—whether she’s literally royalty, the boss at work, or simply the heroine who owns every room she walks into. We’ll be unpacking what makes her so compelling, the tropes that highlight her power, and why readers can’t get enough of these heroines who rule their own worlds. 

This Episode is brought to you by author Shannon Elliot.

The Queen Archetype (in Romance): 
The Queen archetype embodies authority, influence, and command—she’s a character who knows her worth, sets the rules, and often holds power over others, whether in her career, family, community, or even a literal throne. Queens are not defined only by status or wealth but by their ability to lead, protect, and inspire loyalty
