Anna Wickham: a poet's daring life (1st Madison Books ed.)

Anna Wickham's life is characterized by the turbulent, burgeoning feminism of the early 20th century.

A woman whose incisive mind and inquisitive nature sent her husband into jealous rages, she was forcibly committed to a mental hospital at the age of 30.

Upon her release, she began a life-long quest for happiness, exhibited first and foremost through her poetry.

Anna Wickham became a widely acclaimed writer whose life, at times immersed in scandal, is a story of success and sadness.

Eventually leaving her husband and four sons to live in Paris's left bank, she became a confidante of D.H.

Lawrence, the long-time lover of millionairess Natalie Clifford Barney, and a strong-willed literary icon, rumored to have once thrown Dylan Thomas into a snowstorm.

Despite her fame and achievement, Wickham's struggles with depression and anxiety would eventually lead to her untimely death.
