Interview #893: AMOL Midnight Release Q&A, Entry #13

Brigitte Reed

Hello. My name is Brigitte Reed; I’m from Kearns, Utah, and I just wanted to say that I started reading the series when I was thirteen, and I was in the 8th grade, and so I’ve been reading it over…about fourteen years, and it’s the best series I’ve ever read, and I’m so thankful to you, Harriet, for being willing to give it over to Brandon so that he could finish it for us.

And I actually have a question for Maria, and this is a question that I asked Brandon in November that he didn’t know the answer to. [laughter] So he told me to email him, and he would email you. But I wanted to know if the women in Randland shaved. [laughter]

Maria Simons

I thought I had answered this one somewhere along the line. Um…not really. [laughter] This is…I went digging around in the notes, and…basically, in the…the razors the men shave with are just not really good for shaving legs…so, it would be dangerous. Also, we see how they brush their teeth in the Wheel of Time, and we see men shaving, and a lot of things. And I think if they did, at some point Jim would have had a woman with her leg outstretched, shaving…. [laughter] You know? So, I am reasonably certain they did not.

Brigitte Reed

Thank you very much.

Harriet McDougal

But I think, in the thousands of years since the Breaking, there’s been a certain amount of blessed evolution, so that women no longer have hair on their legs. [applause, cheers]

Maria Simons

That was my other thought. [laughter]
