Margaret Atwood, 38, Canada's top woman author, is a late starter as a mother

Original Toronto Star caption: Margaret Atwood, 38, Canada's top woman author, is a late starter as a mother. She has arranged her life so she can raise daughter Jess, 2, and still meet the gruelling demands of her writing career. It necessitates part-time help in the Alliston farmhouse where she lives, unmarried, with novelist Graeme Gibson.
