This is a woman who got an entire generation of kids into reading during an era when other forms of media and entertainment were preferred to books. A woman who is among the best-selling authors of all time and gives a significant portion of her income to charitable causes. A woman whose work is loved around the world and who is one of the best known and most loved British authors. But no - she wasn't significant enough, because her "radical" political opinion that men are not women might trigger a certain crowd.

Wow. When you put it that way, the truthful way that is, her accomplishment is really staggering.
