Author Information

Rebecca West (1892-1983) was born Cicily Isabel Fairfield in County Kerry, Ireland, and raised in Edinburgh. A member of the socialist Fabian Society and a militant suffragist, in 1914 she bore a child out of wedlock with H. G. Wells, whom she met after panning his books. A fearsome critic, she also wrote novels, reportage, history, and political analysis. As a skeptic of the Russian Revolution who became a passionate anti-communist, West alienated many on both Left and Right; she was known all her life for her scathing wit and force of will. In 1911 she wrote: ""people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat, or a prostitute."" Katie Roiphe is the director of the Cultural Reporting and Criticism program at New York University. She is a columnist at the Wall Street Journal and has contributed to the New York Times, the Atlantic, Harper's, Esquire, the Washington Post, the Guardian, the Financial Times, and the Paris Review. As a retired board-certified music therapist, licensed counselor, and veteran of the Michigan Opera and several community theaters, Jennifer Dixon has explored the power of words and music to motivate, inspire, provoke, soothe, and heal-all of which she brings to her work as an audiobook narrator. Even though she was born within the sound of Bow Bells in London England (now residing in the beautiful state of Michigan), Jennifer has a ""proper old-fashioned BBC sound, with American overtones,"" but can conjure up her cockney side if need be!
