BritMums is pleased to announce that author Clare Mulley is joining the panel: Feminsim: Reclaim or rebrand? at BritMums Live this year.Clare was inspired to start writing when she discovered that her first subject, Eglantyne Jebb, the founder of Save the Children (where Clare used to work), confessed how little she cared about individual children, ‘the little wretches’. Maternity leave gave Clare the perfect opportunity to find out more. The resulting book, The Woman Who Saved the Children, won the Daily Mail Biographers’ Club prize.
Clare’s next subject, the passionately patriotic Christine Granville, Britain’s first female special agent of WWII, presented her own challenges, having been well trained not to leave a paper trail. Fortunately Christine also liked to tell a good story and inspired several of the men who adored her to tell her story too. The Spy Who Loved was published in 2012 to critical acclaim.
Clare is a regular speaker at literary events and on radio including the Today programme, and Women’s Hour. She lives in Essex with her husband and three daughters.
