A hundred years ago I would have been a servant or a housewife (actually, I would probably have died while giving birth to my tenth child by now). <br />In today´s Denmark it may be time to fight for equality for men, however, and I think it may be the same in Germany.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-23113786802873552082009-04-14T10:53:00.000+01:002009-04-14T10:53:00.000+01:00This quotation made me think about those writers w...This quotation made me think about those writers who mixed themselves with the damn scribbling women and their trash. Some say D'Annunzio wrote a few of the novels attributed to Liala (the Italian Barbara Cartland) and there's a young contemporary Italian crime novelist who writes every week a romance short story for a female magazine. In between these two, there are many authors who are known to have written lots of romance novels,often in a few days and under female pseudonym, just because they needed the money.marcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10505120530405862702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-80658398083493680692009-04-12T12:52:00.000+01:002009-04-12T12:52:00.000+01:00Care, I am not sure any of them are as famous as h...Care, I am not sure any of them are as famous as he is so perhaps he had no need to be so envious ;) <BR/>I also like the implicit irony of that blog.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-73812797110463870042009-04-11T23:11:00.000+01:002009-04-11T23:11:00.000+01:00My first thought was to wonder who Hawthorne's fem...My first thought was to wonder who Hawthorne's female contemporaries were-- and to consider its historical context.
