In this obituary of Barbara Taylor Bradford, it runs FOUR FULL PARAGRAPHS.
Ms. Bradford regarded herself as a feminist and her work an expression of feminism. But critics often called her plots formulaic, long-winded and predictable, her dialogue weak and her characters cardboard. Some also derided her claims to feminism, saying her themes of strong women rising to power were intended only to win the hearts of her largely female audience. “Because Bradford’s heroines resemble their author in their fabulous wealth and determination — and because the author has a passing resemblance to Margaret Thatcher in the matters of hair-span and go-getter ideology — it seems to have got around that Bradford is a feminist,” Sophie Harrison said in The New York Times review of Piers Dudgeon’s biography of Ms. Bradford, “The Woman of Substance” (2006).
