Some good info was added, and i rewrote it for clarity and formatting reasons. however, its still unreferenced. anyone who can reference this content, even if its a print-only publication with her biography, please do. some of the material i trimmed could be added back, but again only if referenced. the material i left her is in my judgement encyclopedic and likely to be referenced. i left her parents in as a courtesy, but they actually could be important to show her rise from a nonliterary background.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 20:48, 11 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
