The duties of a wife and mother Written by Maisy (8/29/2005 9:22 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, A life cut too short., penned by Robbin

I'm afraid that I feel differently. :-)

I think it very likely that JA would have produced less work and would have had less time to revise it, had she married and borne children. The duties of a household and raising children probably would have commanded a large portion of her attention.
