Isobel Armstrong, Professor of Literature at Birkbeck College, London University believes that Drabble tackled new subjects in a frank and engaging style:
|
"She
wrote very freshly with a sort of immediacy and clarity
which was very engaging. But I think that what excited
people about her work was its extraordinarily simple assertion
of the importance of women's lives. And I think people
found that curiously releasing and refreshing. I think
she struck a very important chord in the late 60s and
early 70s, and that was a very real puzzlement about the
traditional demands on a woman to have children, of new
understandings of the possibilities women had in lives,
and the new difficulties."
