Sobre IBD

Among over eighty articles in this volume are Mitchison’s earliest known published non-fiction, her thoughts on motherhood and children - and her contributions to the debate on contraception, including the pamphlet 'Comments On Birth Control' published separately in 1930.As well as the text of her editorial for the collection of essays 'An Outline for Boys and Girls and their Parents' (1932), and the full text of the extended essay 'The Home and a Changing Civilisation' (1934) there are humorous stories from ’The Passing Show’ and some of the nascent journeys into left-wing political expression.The second half of the volume takes time to reflect on past occasions, on her early life in Edinburgh and Oxford, and on family at Cloan.

As a generalisation, he may be right. But turn the coin and realise that many thousands of people in Britain, with no direct contact with this country, owe their knowledge of it to a single...

    With almost seven hundred articles included in this series, it is not surprising to learn that political thinking, anecdote, frustration and reflection appear across the spectrum and therefore are not exclusive to this volume.Those brought together here - dating from as early as 1923 in Fascist Italy, through more than 60 years, to the lack of women in the U.K Parliament - show...

    This volume covers from 1935 to 1993, over a wide range of topics. Often serious, with passion, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, Mitchison looks at issues of the day, and reflects, usually critically, on how society is being affected by current affairs, usually for the worse.Articles rarely confine themselves to a narrow perspective.The volume includes the entire text of the extended...

  • Collected Poems
    Naomi Mitchison
    Naomi Mitchison (1897-1999) wrote, during her long life, in more or less every genre one could name: fiction, essays, drama, children’s books, and poetry. Much of her writing has been brought back into print, but no sustained effort has so far been made to collect and consider her poetry. This volume is a first step towards that.Only two poetry collections were published during...
