I see that the new series Wolf Hall has brought the feminists out
in force. They (dreadful journalist Liz Jones at their fore) are claiming that the
Claire Foy interpretation of Anne Boleyn is that of an admirable proto-feminist.
Strangely perhaps, I agree wholeheartedly. Ms Foy's portrayal of Boleyn is:
petty, self-seeking, malicious, sans empathy, egregious, cold, brutal,
calculating, vicious, lacking in understanding of her true situation and
terminally petulant. Yup. That just about captures yer actual modern day
feminist.
