Helen Fielding
Helen Fielding is a British journalist, novelist and screenwriter, best known as the creator of the fictional character Bridget Jones. Fielding’s first novel was set in a refugee camp in East Africa and she started writing Bridget Jones in an anonymous column in London’s Independent newspaper. This turned into an unexpected hit, leading to four Bridget Jones novels and four films.

Zabawne, że mając dwadzieścia pięć lat, martwimy się, że nikt nie traktuje nas poważnie, i za rzecz oczywistą przyjmujemy, że postrzega się nas jako przedmioty seksualnego zainteresowania. Z biegiem czasu zaczynamy za rzecz oczywistą przyjmować, że traktuje się nas poważnie, natomiast martwimy się, że nikt nas już nie pożąda.
