The curse of choiceMonday 27 August 2001
Is there a real tyranny in facing the kind of choices previous generations would have died for?

Jenni discusses the highs and lows of choice with Joan Smith, author of Moralities and columnist for The Independent on Sunday and Fay Weldon, whose most recent novel is Rhode Island Blues and who has written an article in the September issue of Eve magazine in which she pities the younger woman.

Moralities: Sex, Money and Power in the 21st Century by Joan Smith (Allen Lane The Penguin Press; ISBN: 0713994096, £14.99).
