Marjorie's ambition was to be a war reporter - yet it was not in conflict zones but behind the net curtains of ordinary living-rooms that she found her front line.

 

She fought for those whose lives had been blighted by loss, disability or dispossession, and as a television reporter, director and then Investigative journalist, used her gifts as a writer to give a voice to the less fortunate. Known as a social reformer of the nineteenth century, Marjorie battled to change the perceptions and understanding of mental illness.

 

All the time she was absorbed in other people's sorrows, Marjorie was struggling to keep her own at bay. She reveals the causes of the pain that drove her passions and recalls her heady time in television filming the embers of 'Swinging London', her succession of doomed romances with some of the best-known men of her generation, her life as a single mother and her turbulent marriage to a Polish aristocrat and psychoanalyst.
