She was incredibly witty and forward thinking. For me, it's her wit that makes her books so fantastic to read.

Gender roles and expectations were pretty much written in stone during that period. She couldn't even write under her own name and never received any recognition until after her death.


And whoever above mentioned Choke, that was actually one of the books I bought the other day. I haven't started it yet.
