Grace Paley Died :-( A brilliant writer who gave motherhood equal billing to her art and politics.

[EnormousChangesAtTheLastMinute]

If you're a fan of a finely turned short story and haven't read her do give her a try!

Here is obit.

What a fascinating woman.

Thanks for the recommendation - just about to log on to library online to request her books.

I recognised her name, but haven't read anything of hers. I'd wondered where your name came from, EnormousChanges. Now I know - will definitely have a read.

ooh, hope you enjoy them! she was quite a character!

ah that's where you got the name!

she sounded like an interesting person 'combative pacificist' sounds good.

i have to admit i haven't read the stories for a few years - and not since i've become a mother. it'll be interesting to see what i make of them from the other side of motherhood.
