I know that modern (third wave) feminism tends to fall on the side of love triangles being sexist for a variety of reasons (like encouraging heteronormative masculine competition to "win" a woman like an objectified prize). I also know that there's plenty of dissent on this opinion, saying that it's empowering for a woman to have a choice. But what did first wave feminists have to say about love triangles, especially given their prevalence in the 19th Century novel, the quintessential "woman's genre?"
