Christine Peterson: Self

Quotes 

• Christine Peterson : Women in British history? I think it all comes down to literature really. Yes there are plenty but of course and this is only my humble opinion and many will disagree with me but a few stand out. Emily Brontë is one of them. And my other favourite being Nick's favourite too, George Eliot. I think both writers has the output that a man has. When George Eliot wrote "Scenes of Clerical Life" -a masterpiece- it was to me written under the eyes of a man. In fact it is staggering how many people believe that George Eliot is actually a woman and not just outside Britain. Men fear women's writing. Harry Potter was initially advertised very confusedly by being written by a man. They believed that young boys would not have bought it if they would have known that it was written by a man. Women writing is still mainly marketed to woman.

  Christine Peterson : I'm firm believer that Shakespeare is a brand name written by a mythological character and "his" entire work has actually been written by many people. Again to me, Othello and Twelve Nights are the works of a woman.

  Christine Peterson : Of course we have a Queen as a head of state and had one on many occasions through our history. I'm not sure if you can say if that it is being a feminist, but somehow it is a phenomenal achievement. Feminism is mostly an advancement from the left of the political divide and as a result the Queen is not regarded as an achievement which is a shame, really.
