Autorenporträt

Jessica Mitford was the fifth of the six Mitford daughters and always the rebel among her sisters. At the age of 19 she eloped to the Spanish Civil War with her cousin, Esmond Romilly, and they moved to the USA in 1939. Romilly died in action in 1941 and Jessica later married Bob Treuhaft, a lawyer, with whom she lived in California. A one-time member of the American Communist Party, Jessica was a frequent target for the House Committee of Un-American Activities and was a passionate supporter of civil rights.
