- Go to A Famous Author's Creative Thinking and Writing Almost Forced Her Silence
What a fantastic mind she had to pen such beauty! Thank you. To be so "insane" as she - that is a gift one who writes should envy. My heart goes out to her. And TAPS is right, a lobotomy would have been tragic beyond words. Kabu too, the women of the '40s and '50s were supposed to fit into man-made (yes, it's a pun) molds. Thank God for the '60s when that began to change. "Began" being the operative word!

and she was brilliant. The 50's were still a time when little girls were supposed to find a good man and settle down and have babies.

I can't think of much worse than a lobotomy, especially after seeing that old Elizabeth Taylor and Katherine Hepburn in "Suddenly, Last Summer."

Good Afternoon
Sherri, I think authors can be so misunderstood. If they step out of their circle and write something new there will always be people that feel that something is not quite right.
