THIS is her quote on "wanton women" characters
“The idea of a wanton woman is something I have inserted into almost all of my books. An outlaw figure who is disallowed in the community because of her imagination or activity or status—that kind of anarchic figure has always fascinated me. And the benefits they bring with them, in spite of the fact that they are either dismissed or upbraided—something about their presence is constructive in the long run.
—Toni Morrison
Toni's book, God Help the Child, is out tomorrow. I haven't been this excited about a novel since Walter Mosley released "Gone Fishin'"
