There has been a lot of discussion in the media about Harper Lee since the story about her new book [View all]

So much of the discussion seems to me to be very sexist implying that Harper Lee is not a good writer or somehow she did not really write To Kill A Mockingbird. Does anyone else get the vibe from these discussions and articles that so many in the media are dismissive of Harper Lee's talent as a writer?
