If one is moved to take political action, why not be more public about it: sign a pledge, write on this subject for publication, join an organization and make some noise.<br />Anna Chapman Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02837076694419212775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30210943.post-77346302775724456752018-01-15T12:46:30.631-05:002018-01-15T12:46:30.631-05:00I do think I am more in tune with female writers t...I do think I am more in tune with female writers too.

But I suspect it's a slight;y lazy attitude on my part and while I'm all for equality for women, I don't want any judgement to be made at the expense of the best writing, whoever it's by.Aline Templetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01199803927350776150noreply@blogger.com
