Book Synopsis A Brave and Beautiful Spirit by : Les Garner
Book excerpt: Rebecca West knew as far back as 1926 that Dora Marsden was 'one of the most marvellous personalities that the nation has ever produced" yet it has taken over 60 years (and 30 since Dora's death) for this to be recognised. Born in 1882, Dora Marsden had what could only be described as a remarkable life--teacher at 13, university student at 18, head of a teacher training centre in her early 20's, giving this up to become a well-loved and nationally known suffragette, famous for her reckless bravery and, in West's words, 'exquisite beauty". -- Back cover.
