Charlotte Franken Haldane (1894-1969), first wife of geneticist J.B.S. Haldane, was one of the earliest newswomen on Fleet Street and Britain's first female war correspondent. An extraordinarily versatile woman of letters, she wrote twenty novels and biographies, dozens of radio broadcasts, plays and political essays. She was an ardent feminist and, in the 1930s, an active member of the British Communist Party. Her novels and journalism are a valuable register of the most pressing social issues of her day, especially as they concerned women. This literary biography discusses her life and work.
