Just came across your site courtesy of Tara Hanks, a fellow Brightonian who I follow. I am a convicted feminist, or should that be convinced, but having two daughters and two granddaughters it is sometimes difficult to know the difference, so I wish you the best with your efforts. I am somewhat appalled to learn how few women have won the Booker, especially as my passion for literature is as a direct result of my Mum’s library. God bless her and all who sail behind her. And you too,
David
Thanks David! 🙂
