O avtorju (1990)

Lynn Segal was born in 1944 in Australia. She emigrated to London in 1970 and for the next decade her main energies went into grass roots politics in Islington, North London, helping to set up and run a women's centre and an alternative newspaper. In 1979, the three friends, Segal, Sheila Rowbotham and Hilary Wainwright wrote Beyond the Fragments, arguing for broader alliances among trade unionists, feminists and left political groups. In 1984, publisher Ursula Owen invited her to join the Virago Advisory Board and write an appraisal of the state of feminism, resulting in her first book, Is the Future Female? Troubled Thoughts on Contemporary Feminism. Her next book was Slow Motion: Changing Masculinities, Changing Men. In 2015 her title, Out Of Time: The Pleasures and Perils of Aging, made The New Zealand Best Seller List.
