Maeve Binchy
Aug. 6th, 2012 09:52 pmEver since I read the news of Maeve Binchy's death earlier this week I've wanted to post on it. And today ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kellychambliss ranted on a piece of writing so utterly insulting that it finally galvanised me into action. The author of this Guardian article claimed that Binchy (or any childless woman) couldn't write the whole gamut of emotions because she'd never given birth. Austen, too, this nutter states, would have written much better novels, had she had children ...
Well, damn.
( Thank You, Maeve Binchy )
