Brigid Brophy (1929–1995) was an acclaimed novelist, essayist, critic, and activist. She championed gay marriage, prison reform, pacifism, and vegetarianism, as well as campaigning tirelessly for the rights of both animals and authors. She published nine novels–of which The King of a Rainy Country (1956) is her second–as well as critical studies of Mozart, Aubrey Beardsley, and Ronald Firbank, her formidable intellect unhampered by being sent down from Oxford before she could take her degree.
