Apology

In a column headlined “Women get the worst of stereotyping” (16 August) reference was made to Judith Williamson, the feminist author. Ms Williamson has asked us to make it clear that she has never written any of the statements attributed to her in that column. Our apologies to Ms Williamson. Link

Here are the offending sentences (from the cached version):

The feminist author Judith Williamson wrote of her resentment of her body and period pains because she felt she couldn’t admit to being changed, weakened or even slightly defeated by them. She refused seats on buses and did her own DIY, ovaries self-righteously screaming all the while.
