It doesn't seem like there's any activity on this talk page, so I thought I might as well add something.
I added a few sentences about her career before being a full time writer, and I also included a new section about her political life. I understand that the new section looks pretty bare and awkward, so I hope to come back and fill it out more once I've found more sources. If anyone can recommend any other biographical sources about her, I would appreciate it!
