In Australia ha fatto un certo scalpore il modo in cui The Australian ha dato la notizia della morte di Colleen McCullogh. Potrebbe non essere un caso così isolato: lo spiega il Guardian, in un articolo.

McCullough was a woman who penned The Thorn Birds, still the highest-selling Australian book of all time. After working as a neuroscientist in Sydney, she went on to write that particular book during her time in the neurology department at Yale. This is a woman who also wrote an acclaimed seven-book, methodically researched, historical series called Masters of Rome, which won her diverse fans like Newt Gingrich and Bob Carr. She is someone who accomplished an astonishing amount during her life, and here she is reduced, in a moment, to her looks and her ability to attract men.

Oovviamente il web si scatena. La polemica femminista della settimana è servita.
