Abstract
- This article examines Storm Jameson's literary collaborations with other women writers in the 1930s, reading them as a mode of anti-fascist activism. Jameson collaborated with Lilo Linke on her 1934 memoir-travelogue, Tale Without End, and with Hilary Newitt on her 1937 sociological study, Women Must Choose, providing editorial assistance, access to publication and introductions to both texts. Through readings of Jameson's introductions in relation to the texts they precede, I argue that Jameson promoted Linke's and Newitt's work to alert British women readers to the threat fascism posed to their freedom and persuade those readers to oppose it. I aim to locate these collaborations in the context of women's anti-fascist activism from which they arose, while drawing attention to feminist literary exchanges that remain underexplored.
