| | |  J.K.Rowling writes essay about growing up
' Becoming myself: Reflections on growing up female', a book written by Willa Shalit, is set to contain an essay written by J.K.Rowling about growing up as a woman. The book itself contains the reflections of sixty-seven women, including Jo. People magazine has published a quote from JK's piece: Quote:
There are many things, I liked then and now, about being a girl. The friendships you make...I like women's perceptiveness and ability to empathise. I like their ability to juggle 19 jobs before breakfast, and I prefer women's shoes.
The book will be released on April 18th.

I'll have to check that out! More power to her! I hope that books gives a good impression and, perhaps, has a powerful massage. We need more powerul women in our world! Males are still the dominant gender, and that makes me angry! Women have rights, too! *calms down* JKR rocks! |

Jo's awesome, and I wouldn't have her as the author of HP any other way. I'm going to have to hunt down the magazine! | |

At least I'm proud I can juggle 19 jobs before breakfast.  But, clearly, Jo's one of a kind. *Shnugglesz* She's super, simply marvellous. *Luffs*
Love,
~~Jay~~
