Marina Warner Quotes:

Ocupation: Novelist

Life: b. November 9, 1946

Birthday: November 9

The Grimm brothers always said that their informants were women, which is possibly not true, women of the people. There is the constant evocation of women's voices, in the collecting and arrangement of these stories, and yet the message of so many of them is incredibly misogynist. I was very puzzled by that, and that book explores that contradiction.
