Sure the poor woman is a little distracted; she could never be so ridiculous else as to venture at writing books
In the mid-17th century this was the general view of any woman who wanted to be a writer - it was to take another two centuries before it became really respectable.

People could not believe a man could be such a bloody traitor (SIR WILLIAM LAWTHER) According to socialist mythology James Ramsay MacDonald , first Labour Prime Minister of Britain, was a traitor because he formed a National Government with the Conservatives and Liberals in 1931. Does MacDonald deserve this judgment? His biographer David Marquand mp does not believe so. In tonight's programme with the voices and views of the MacDonald family, of Mac Donald 's contemporaries and with extracts from previously unseen papers, he presents a portrait of this complex and controversial man.
