Sarah Campion Author

Born the daughter of a Cambridge don in 1906, Sarah Campion taught in Germany from 1933 to 1937, when she was expelled for refusing to collaborate with Nazi authorities. This and her encounters with apartheid in South Africa instilled in her a lifelong dedication to political activism. She spent a year in Australia, in which she set her most famous novel, Mo Burdekin, then returned to England at the start of World War Two. She published 11 novels between 1936 and 1951. She eventually settled in New Zealand, where she worked as a journalist and organizer in social movements. She died in 2002.
