Shirley Conran's book "Crimson" is a tightly constructed novel about fraud and theft perpetrated on a writer and her family. It is in a bit of a "Women's Liberation" genre as the heroine, her life-time friend and partner, as well as her granddaughters all grapple with the the core questions of woman's relationship with man, work, life roles and other. The novel takes this writer back to Simone de Beauvoir's book "The Second Sex" where de Beauvoir identifies the core problem of human relationships where man is defined as integral, whole, valuable, having purpose and meaning while woman is defined as being "The Other," secondary, non-integral, non-essential, lacking value in her work and her life's role. --RubyBluebird00:04, 30 December 2006 (UTC) Susan J.

It's a little depressing that such a successful woman's biog should begin with 'is the ex-wife of'. Perhaps Shirley Conran's multi million selling books should come before her marital status? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.174.45 (talk) 11:20, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
