I also enjoyed the fresh perspective -- that of the non-mom.<BR/><BR/>In January I wrote about Smilla Jasperson, the lead character in <I>Smilla's Sense of Snow</I>. I discovered her in the movie version first, her character is played by the beautiful Julia Ormond. Her childfree status was crystalized for me when I got my hands on a copy of the book, which is written by a man and became an international best seller. <BR/><BR/>The quote:<BR/><BR/><B>"...the world is always so busy wondering why a single, defenseless woman, if she's in my age group, doesn't have a husband and a couple of charming little toddlers. Over time you develop an allergic reaction to the question."</B><BR/><BR/>I wonder what life experience made him so smart on the subject?<BR/><BR/>I'd like to know more heroines who are Purple. I encourage everyone to send me their favorites (fictional characters who are childfree women) and I'll post the list one page one for all to see. <BR/><BR/><I>Oh</I>, I just thought of another...!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
