Quote preview background for J.K. Rowling
Very early on in writing the series, I remember a female journalist saying to me that Mrs Weasley, 'Well, you know, she__ just a mother.' And I was absolutely incensed by that comment. Now, I consider myself to be a feminist, and I__ always wanted to show that just because a woman has made a choice, a free choice to say, 'Well, I__ going to raise my family and that__ going to be my choice. I may go back to a career, I may have a career part time, but that__ my choice.' Doesn__ mean that that__ all she can do. And as we proved there in that little battle, Molly Weasley comes out and proves herself the equal of any warrior on that battlefield.
