Bridget Jones is a fictional character created by English writer Helen Fielding.
Fielding first published Bridget Jones' stories in the form of a diary in English newspaper columns. They chronicled the life of Bridget Jones, a thirtysomething single woman living in London, surrounded by a surrogate "urban family" of friends as she tries to make sense of life and love in the 1990s. Often hysterically funny, the column accurately lampooned the obsession of women with women's magazines and wider societal trends in Britain at the time.
