It is difficult to get men to pick up a female author. Women will read men, but men won't read women.
I did not grow up with people, you know, pounding in my head, 'This is what you've got to do, this is what you're going to do.'
It wasn't my plan to create such a record. All I did was put in the effort to win every match I played and it went on for weeks, months and years until my defeat to Ross Norman in Toulouse in 1986.
