crosspost from DW, reminding me of [livejournal.com profile] caprine in particular:

"Just finished Victoria Glendinning's biography of the extraordinary Dame Rebecca West, novelist, reporter, political thinker, and feminist. She started off as an enfant terrible in the London literary scene, lived and wrote and bore a child and kept writing, and grew into a difficult, brilliant, highly successful old woman. Born in 1892, she lived until 1983, and she was vigorous until a few months before the end. "

Quote 1:

"I wonder if we are all wrong about each other, if we are just composing unwritten novels about the people we meet?"

Quote 2:

"I myself have never been able to find out what feminism is; I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute."
