Fay Weldon
(1931 - 2023)After hard times and odd jobs as a lone parent, Fay Weldon became one of the top advertising copywriters of her generation. She moved to TV drama (writing the pilot episode of the iconic series Upstairs Downstairs) then turned to novels – including the classic The Life and Loves of a She Devil and The Cloning of Joanna May. She was made a CBE for services to literature and was a Professor of Creative Writing at Bath Spa University.
