I think women have every right to feel like they're the protagonists in their own stories.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every woman must own her story; otherwise we are all part of the silence.
I find women as writers and as characters are operating within narrow confines. They inherit a kind of ghetto of the soul. I'm trying to enlarge the spectrum.
Nobody is surprised that women writers accurately represent male characters over and over again, no doubt because everybody knows that women understand men much better than vice-versa.
I like female characters that are strong in their own right and not because the author said so.
As a male writer, women are always what men pursue, and their world is always a mystery. So I always tried to present as many views as possible on women's worlds.
Women have seen that they have locked themselves up with feminist writing.
I'm a very girlie girl, but I often find the heroes of my books trying to take over the story. In truth, I enjoy writing the male point of view more than any other.
I wonder if novels work for women because they give us a safe place to talk about our ish.
Women are never the protagonists; we're always reactionary against everything that's done to us. I like people who write for women that have got a bit more about them.
The audience just doesn't care. They are just as interested in women-centric stories as they are in stories about men.
