Erin Pizzey : Author and instigator of the first women’s refuge in London

After making her name as the instigator of the first women's refuge in West London Erin became a successful author.

The refuge opened in 1971. A career as a non fiction and fiction author followed. An author can live anywhere and she left London to live in the Cayman Islands. I met her for this interview on her birthday soon after she had moved continents again.

Reading about the refuge I was interested to read that Joanna Lumley was a supporter and she asked The Who to play at a fundraiser .... they did!

There was a new book 'Morningstar' which Erin was very keen to tell me all about.

One of the interesting dimensions in Erins thinking is how her view of men changed.
