The real shocker to me was when it turned out that all the books were co-written with his wife Leigh. They decided just to use his name on the cover to "appeal to the audience", which, okay, but it really disturbed me considering all the stuff about how women are so mysterious and all the great sorceress Polgara wants to do is pop out babies and make soap. Soap, of all things! It's so fucking messy and gross (in pre-modern times)!

Yeah, I never knew how to feel about that. Because one the one hand, Polgara's appreciation of physical labour contra using magic was always a point in her character that I liked.

On the other, there were the implications in how she became the no-nonsense matron of The Vale pretty much because she came to terms with the fact that she was A Woman (tm).

[philstar22]

Yes, that undertone is sketchy. But honestly, I love her anyway. She's my favorite character.

I knoooooow. Pol is one of my favourite fictional women to this day *g*

It annoys me when people bring this up as a defense for the crappy female characters in the series... as if a woman co-writer couldn't possibly have anything to do with tired stereotypes about women.
