Replying to @BrBabblingBooks
"Look we fixed it" is marketing. You can't reclaim for profit today what women didn't get to experience at the time. George Eliot is part of herstory and history. And what happens when other publishers pile on and we no longer even knew it happened? That feels like erasure.
