Today is the birthday of one of my very favorite authors – Margaret Atwood. var gaJsHost = ((“https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://www.”);document.write(unescape(“%3Cscript src='” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”));
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“UA-xxxxxx-x”);pageTracker._trackPageview();
Ms. Atwood writes on issues of importance: the rights of women, patriarchal religion’s influence on women, the politics of food, and environmental issues.
If you’ve never read any of Margaret Atwood’s poetry collections, short stories, or novels might I suggest you pick up a copy of one of the classics. My favorites include The Edible Woman, Surfacing, and of course, The Handmaid’s Tale. If you’re a long time fan as I am, isn’t it time for a reread?
Happy Birthday Margaret Atwood
and thank you.
