British novelist Phyllis Bottome raised awareness of the Jewish plight in pre-war Germany and was an activist for victims of colonial injustice and racism. Her anti-Nazi novel, The Mortal Storm, became a blockbuster Hollywood film starring James Stewart. This extraordinary woman had equally extraordinary friends, including Ezra Pound, Daphne Du Maurier and Max Beerbohm. Pam Hirsch, author and feminist academic, talks about her recent biography of the author with Susan Sellars.
