Penelope Lively > Quotes > Quote > Jane shared it

“[She] was to consider her own experience in the field and examine the implications of being a woman, with the wisdom of hindsight and comparisons of her reception by different cultures and communities. She was to record her own problems in relation to such questions as conformity, reciprocity and culture shock, and discuss how her own attitudes and methods of adjustment had altered over the years. She was to take a long view. She was to consider her self a guru, a pundit.”
― Penelope Lively, Spiderweb
