Lit Critical

Mc Donalds eh? It's a hothouse of intellectual activity.

Sue and I and our respective sprogs were tucking into some Big Macs yesterday and she suggested that, other than the creations of female novelists, the canon of English literature is sadly lacking in rich, complex female characters.

Kai wasn't going to take this lying down. He countered that Portrait of a Lady's Isabel Archer and Big Boobied Bertha from the How to train a dragon books were both very well-rounded characterisations.

But is Sue right? I'm racking my brains for counter-arguments.
