I think that was true in the beginning and maybe thru Rumours or Tusk. Then possibly Bella Donna.... but even by then, really after Rumours, she became proudest about being a ROCK STAR. She really, really let the songwriter part go down the toilet from the 80s onward, and it honestly has not come back nearly as well. I may be one of the few who really liked TISL, not least because it was a decent batch of new songs from her which hadn't happened in a long time.
But truthfully, as for songwriting, she's been resting on her 1970s laurels for a long, long looooooong time now, and quite possibly some of those are in truth collaborations by partners who didn't insist on credit at the time.
