“When people talk about my work, and talk about me writing for women, or strong female characters—it’s made me realise how badly women have been served in the past. I just invented characters I wanted to read about, blissfully unaware that I was doing a feminist thing. But so many female characters are these Airfix kits—little bits put together to make something that’s meant to resemble a woman.”
Sally Wainwright (1963–)
