The true story of the Ladies of Llangollen isn’t all that far off from your Eloise-Penelope fan fiction.
One of the most famous examples from this era involves the Ladies of Llangollen, two upper-class Irish women who in the late 18century left Ireland and moved together to north Wales.

. Given her family’s class, Eloise does not have to marry for economic security, unlike many other women of her time. She can pursue a “friendship” with Penelope, and they could live together independent of any men.Fiona Brideoake, Ph.D, whose research focuses on British literature and queer historiography, said that a love story between Eloise and Penelope actually makes quite a bit of sense for that time period.
