ⓘ About Helen Fielding

Late 90’s were a very important period for female writers. J.K. Rowling began writing a saga about a young wizard called Harry Potter, and Helen Fielding began writing a saga about a young overweight girl with a lot of issues called Bridget Jones. These two writers put British authors back in the spotlight, and while everything is known about J.K. Rowling, Helen Fielding is not much talked about. Thus, this is the story about her. This is how Helen Fielding and Bridget Jones came to be. Helen Fielding was born on February 19, 1958, in a little town called Morley, placed in West Yorkshire, right next to Leeds.
