Ophelia, Two Girls of Gettysburg and Lady Macbeths Daughter all revisit old stories from the point of view of a female protagonist. Do you consider yourself a feminist?
A. Yes. I grew up with an acute sense that a lot of life was unfair for girls (though a lot has changed, thankfully.) And it was unfair in the distant past too. But I wanted to show how young women could become individuals and act within the constraints of their patriarchal culture. They were not simply beaten down by it.
