Re: Antonia
in reply to a message by PB
Two associations immediately pop to mind.
The first is Antonia Fraser, the brilliant British authoress. I highy recommend her non-fiction like "The Weaker Vessel," "Mary, Queen of Scots," and "Warrior Queens." I haven't read her mystery novels, but I'll bet they're a cut above the rest.
The second association I have with the name Antonia is from "I, Claudius," the BBC production from the 1970's. Margaret Tyzak (sp?) played Antonia, Mark Antony's daughter, to perfection.
Both images are of strong, intelligent and resourcefuly women. I'm not crazy about the nn Toni, though.
