A piece in the Guardian this morning reminded me I’ve been meaning to point to the work of Rose Hacker, who has started out as a journalist at the age of 100. But this is no mere novelty piece – she’s appearing every fortnight in my local Camden New Journal with a usually solid piece.
The daughter of an East End Jewish rag trade worker, she was a Labour activist and one of Britain’s first sex therapists. I don’t know if anyone is working on a biography, but if no one is, someone should get on with it.
She started the year with a piece Poverty should be history by now – words of wisdom from the old.
