The Burning Glass

The Life of Naomi Mitchison

Fore. Ajay Close , Jenni Calder
First published during its subject’s lifetime, this updated biography of the Scottish writer Naomi Mitchison (1897–1999) tells of her privileged upbringing, and how, like her brother JBS Haldane, she was originally set on a scientific career. It explores her prolific output of novels, non-fiction and poetry, her open marriage and many love affairs, and her tireless campaigning for socialist and feminist causes.
