Diana Wynne Jones Quotes
I Am Really Very Grateful For This Award. It Is One Of The First Given To A Woman, And To Two Women At That. When I First Started Getting Work Published, I Used To Have Wistful Thoughts At The Way All Important Awards Were Given To Men. Women, I Used To Think, Could Be As Innovative, Imaginative And Productive As Possible - And Women Were The Ones Mostly At Work In The Field Of Fantasy For Children And Young Adults - But Only Let A Man Enter The Field, And People Instantly Regarded What He Had To Say And What He Did As More Important. He Got Respectful Reviews As Well As Awards, Even If What He Was Doing - Which It Often Was - Was Imitating The Women. But You Have Changed All That.
Thank You For Being So Enlightened.
Women, Large-minded, Formidable Women, Have Played An Almost Exclusive Part In Helping My Career. I Have Hardly Ever Dealt With A Man - At Least, When It Came To Publishing:
