When people think girl adventurers, they tend to think of a spunky, plucky tom-boy with a chip on her shoulder.

I've been pretty well treated by the critics, but the critics who didn't like my comedies hated them with an unbridled passion, and then I would see these same people writing very respectfully about ordinary naturalistic plays.
