  2. On heroine Nancy Wake, a leading figure of the French resistance who bested guerrilla fighters in drinking bouts & always traveled with her Chanel lipstick: "She is the most feminine woman I know until the fighting starts. Then she is like 5 men."

    Thank you, for this wonderful review of my new book, Dead Man Switch (), a 10th novel and 12th book marking two decades of my personal project to center women's stories and experiences in genre fiction & non-fiction:

    "Without anyone ordering them to do so, without central coordination of any kind, their years of passivity abandoned with astonishing speed, women were taking their first steps into resistance."

    So excited for the chance to read THE WAR WIDOW by and loving it—Billie Walker is my kind of heroine! A PI in Sydney in 1946, Billie is the best kind of hard boiled woman—hard boiled with a heart. Also I feel like she’d appreciate this chaise lounge. Read it in May!

  7. So much power and insight here from novelist, playwright, and activist James Baldwin.

    ‘When you shame people for what they read, you take away their confidence in other areas as well. This was more than just literary snobbery, it was an attempt to keep feminism out of politics’. Marian Keyes

    1840’s was just top hatted men shaking their fists at random objects and declaring them to be their *nemesis*

    Problems inside Victoria’s Secret came into focus last year when the deep ties of the company’s chief executive, Leslie Wexner, to Jeffrey Epstein became public. Epstein lured some young women by posing as a recruiter for Victoria’s Secret models.

    Part of the accepted ideal that only youth = beauty feeds into a modelling industry power dynamic that keeps abuse normalized. The youngest, least powerful models, usually girls and usually removed from their hometowns and families, are forced into proximity with powerful abusers

    So little has changed. The $ power dynamics are the same, and abuse continues. I've had no dealings with Victoria's Secret or , but the behaviours and abuse reported here are incredibly familiar from my modelling days, some of which I wrote about in The Fictional Woman.

    The modelling industry hasn't changed much, sadly. "Abuse was just laughed off and accepted as normal...Anyone who tried to do anything about it wasn’t just ignored. They were punished." The Culture of Misogyny Inside :

    The work of Mary Higgins Clark was so immense and reached so many people-I used to read her books all summer and couldn't put them down until they were finished. Very few authors have this kind of storytelling talent. Rest In Peace, Ms. Clark and thank you.

    Thank you for your tribute, . Mary Higgins Clark wrote over 50 books. (Far more than 'over a dozen' suggests.)

    Vale Mary Higgins Clark, the legendary crime author who made me want to write. She was famous for stories about women beating the odds. She was 92.

    “I can’t survive on praise alone.” Before anyone chimes in to add, “But money has never mattered to me!” please pause and consider that perhaps your being able to say that is the luxury of privilege.
