'She is as pretty as a picture and powerful as a rocket launcher, and anything she touches begins to hum and buzz and send out sparks within half an hour...'
Journalist Anna Marshall writing about Fleet Street editor Phyllis Digby Morton in the 1950s
'Like needle-pricks of light from her spine to her collarbone, from her throat to her elbows, wrists, to the pads of her fingers. She's glittering inside.'
Naomi Alderman in her current bestseller The Power

I must say..This did make me chuckle at one point...
And confess, in preference to reading, the making, of
egg cosies, for Easter, than virginity, infidelity,
and style, which l have plenty of anyway..! :).
And l must also confess to picking up and reading
ladies magazines more so than men's!
There far more interesting!

Thanks for your comments, Willie. Will go over and look at Mary's website now.
Hello Marilyn, I’m so sorry I missed this post. I didn’t think you were blogging at the moment. Never mind two great reads instead of just one and yes, here's to powerful women.
I wasn't going to blog for a while, Barbara, but I found I missed it too much! So I'll continue as long as I have something to say and the courage to say it. Thanks for your comments, here and on today's post. :)
